your computer. For specific information about connecting to
the network, consult your network administrator. Many hotels,
airports, and offices offer Wi-Fi
® access. If your computer has
Wi-Fi ® , ask them for help when connecting to their Wi-Fi ®
network.

connection. Ask your network administrator for the telephone
number of the network.
