If your network supports \acronym{DHCP}, you may already be set up for online access. To check this, click on the NetworkManager icon. There should be a ``Wired Network'' heading in the menu that is displayed. If ``Auto eth$0$'' appears directly underneath, then your computer is currently connected and probably already set up correctly for \acronym{DHCP}. If ``disconnected'' appears in gray underneath the wired network section, look below to see if an option labeled ``Auto eth$0$'' appears in the list. If so, click on it to attempt to establish a wireless connection.

\marginnote{An Internet Protocol (\acronym{IP}) address is a numerical label assigned to devices on a computer network. It is the equivalent of phone numbers for your house and allows your computer to be uniquely identified so you can access the internet and share files with others.}

You should see a window showing details about your connection. If your \acronym{IP} address is displayed as 0.0.0.0 or starts with 169.254, then your computer was not successfully provided with an address through \acronym{DHCP}. If it shows another address, it is most likely that your connection was automatically configured correctly. To test out your Internet connection, you may want to open the \application{Firefox} web browser to try loading a web page. More information on using Firefox can be found later in this chapter.

If you are still not online after following these steps, you may need to try setting up your Internet configuration manually, using a static \acronym{IP} address.

If your network does not support \acronym{DHCP}, then you need to know a few items of information before you can get online.
