Using a wireless network
Your notebook may have wireless Ethernet networking built-in. The
information in this section tells you how to set up and access a wireless
network. If your notebook does not have wireless networking built-in, and
you are interested in getting networking hardware for your notebook or other
computers to set up a network in your home or office, proceed to “Purchasing
additional network equipment” on page 224.
Warning Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11b (also known as
wireless Ethernet or WiFi) communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
For instructions to turn wireless Ethernet on and off, see
“Turning your wireless Ethernet on or off in Windows XP”
on page 198 and “Turning your wireless Ethernet on or off”
on page 223.
Important If your system came equipped with an internal radio
frequency wireless device, see “Safety, Regulatory, and
Legal Information” on page 287 for general wireless
regulatory and safety guidelines. To find out if your system
has an internal wireless device, check the label (see
“Identifying your model” on page 11).
