1. Make sure that the computer is
connected to your network
To check a wired (Ethernet) connection
Many computers have indicator lights beside the port
where the Ethernet cable from the router connects to
your computer. Usually there are two indicator lights,
one that is on and another that blinks. If your computer
has indicator lights, check to see if the indicator lights
are on. If the lights are not on, try reconnecting the
Ethernet cable to the computer and the router. If you still
do not see lights, there might be a problem with the
router, the Ethernet cable, or your computer.
NOTE: Macintosh computers do not have indicator
lights. To check the Ethernet connection on a Macintosh
computer, click System Preferences in the Dock, and
then click Network. If the Ethernet connection is working
correctly, Built-In Ethernet appears in the list of
connections, along with the IP address and other status
information. If Built-in Ethernet does not appear in the
list, there might be a problem with the router, the
Ethernet cable, or your computer. For more information,
click the Help button in the window.
To check a wireless connection
1. Make sure that your computer's wireless has been
turned on. (For more information, see the
documentation available with your computer.)
2. If you are not using a unique network name (SSID),
then it is possible that your wireless computer could
be connected to a nearby network that is not yours.
The following steps can help you determine if your
computer is connected to your network.

a. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,
double-click Network Connections, click the View

Click Start, click Control Panel, point to Network

Leave the network dialog box open while you
continue to the next step.
b. Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
The connection status of your computer should
change to Not Connected.
c. Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router. The
connection status should change to Connected.
Mac OS
a. Click the AirPort icon in the menu bar at the top of
the screen. From the menu that appears, you can
determine if the AirPort is turned on and which
wireless network your computer is connected to.
NOTE: For more detailed information about your
AirPort connection, click System Preferences in the Dock,
and then click Network. If the wireless connection is
working correctly, a green dot appears next to AirPort in
the list of connections. For more information, click the
Help button in the window.
If you are unable to get your computer connected to
your network, contact the person who set up your
network or the router manufacturer as there might be a
hardware issue with either your router or computer.
If you are able to access the Internet and are using a
computer running Windows, you can also access the
HP Network Assistant at http://www.hp.com/sbso/
wireless/tools-setup.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN for
help in setting up a network. (This Web site is only
available in English.)
