computer that has the UNR installed. You've learned where to find your
programs, how to work with files, and how to change some of the settings
related to the appearance of your netbook computer. In the next chapter,
you'll learn how to get connected and use the most important Internet
applications. 44 C H A P T E R 3 ? ? ? Getting Connected What is the
point of a netbook? The Net, of course! Among the most important aspects
of netbook computers is how easy they make it to get connected,
anywhere. In this chapter, you'll learn how to connect. The following
topics are covered: - Configuring Bluetooth - Connecting to a 3G
network - Connecting to a wired network - Connecting to a wireless
network Configuring Bluetooth No matter how you connect your computer to
the Internet, it may be necessary to use Bluetooth, especially if you
want to connect your cell phone to your computer. So before I start
talking about the way you connect your computer to the Internet using 3G
on your cell phone, I'll talk about Bluetooth configuration. You can
tell that your computer has Bluetooth if a Bluetooth icon appears in the
panel at the top of the screen. If it doesn't, from the Preferences
menu, open the Bluetooth item to access the available Bluetooth options
(see Figure 3-1).
