Setting Up and Using Networks

For specific information about the wireless configuration utility installed on
your computer, see your wireless network documentation in the Windows
Help and Support Center (see "Windows Help and Support" on page 16).
Completing the Connection to the WLAN
When you turn on your computer and a network (for which your computer is
not configured) is detected in the area, a pop-up appears near the network
icon in the notification area (in the lower-right corner of the Windows
desktop).
Follow the instructions provided in any utility prompts that appear on your
screen.
Once you have configured your computer for the wireless network that you
selected, another pop-up notifies you that your computer is connected to that
network.
Thereafter, whenever you log on to your computer within the range of the
wireless network that you selected, the same pop-up notifies you of the
wireless network connection.
NOTE:
If you select a secure network, you must enter a WEP or WPA key when
prompted. Network security settings are unique to your network. Dell cannot
provide this information.
NOTE:
Your computer can take up to 1 minute to connect to the network.

Firewall
Windows Firewall provides basic protection from unauthorized access to your
computer while it is connected to the Internet. Windows Firewall is
automatically enabled when you run the Network Setup Wizard.
When Windows Firewall is enabled for a network connection, the firewall
icon appears with a red background in the Network Connections section of
the Control Panel.
NOTE:
Enabling Windows Firewall does not reduce the need for virus-checking
software.
