Hi

I have a new laptop with windows 7 ultimate..

Pls tell me how to configure it to access internet..

I have a modem cum router (wired).

For Broadband connections using Username and password.
Start>Control Panel>View Network Status and Tasks under "Network and Internet">Set up a new connection>Connect to the internet and follow steps.

If the username and password are saved in modem(PPPOE mode) then just connect lan and start browsing.

Connect LAN cable to lan port on pc, win 7 will do the rest.

you should find a driver CD with your laptop...

Find driver CD, launch program, select LAN driver, install and then connect lan cable.

And post model no please.
