[Rajiv]

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.

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.
