Switching on the wireless connectivity

Wardy

Hi,

Can anyone help? Trying to switch on the wireless connectivity on a fujitsu siemens laptop but can't work how to do it. This is so the laptop user can use the main internet connection in the house.

Any ideas?

if its like mine, press function (FN) and F1 to get a small window up, then select WLAN on, if not, look for the little wireless symbol on one of the keys, it looks like a sort of dish with three widening arcs above it

thank you, now we've got that how do we set up the laptop to get wireless access to the main computer connection? I presume we need to put in a password somewhere so they have access but don't know where. It came up automatically on another laptop.

move the cursor over to the bottom right corner of the taskbar and right click on the icon that looks like 2 monitors together, then select connect to a network, select your network, then enter your password if it requires you to.
If it does not require a password, be aware that other people close to your house can use your internet connection freely.
