Using Your VAIO Computer
Using the Internet
Your computer may be equipped with a built-in modem. If equipped, proceed with the following to set up a dial-up Internet
connection. Otherwise, you need to connect an external modem device, for example a USB telephone modem, an xDSL
modem, or a cable modem, to your computer for Internet connection. For the detailed instructions on connection setups of
an external modem device and modem configuration, see the manual that came with your modem.
To find out whether your computer is equipped with a built-in modem, see the online specifications.
Setting Up a Dial-up Internet Connection
Before you can connect to the Internet, you need to connect your computer to a telephone line with a telephone cable (not
supplied) and have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
To connect a telephone cable
1 Plug one end of the phone cable (1) into the modem port on the computer.
2 Plug the other end into the wall jack (2).
✍
Your computer does not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with multiple telephone lines or a
private branch exchange (PBX). Some of these connections may result in excess electrical current and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
If you connect a telephone cable coming through a splitter, the modem or connected device may not work properly.
