Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to the
Internet
If you are having problems connecting to the Internet, see the information
that came from your Internet service provider and the information that came
with any connection hardware.
If you cannot connect to the Internet, but have successfully connected in the
past, the ISP may have a service outage. Contact your ISP to check the service
status, or try connecting again later.
