Answer 1

First of all you have to subscribe to an Internet Service Provider ( ISP ) before you can connect to the Internet, You must have a Modem or Router to be configured and setup for connecting. Or you can also connect using a PC card to connect wireless.

Answer 2

try admin, leave the user name blank...or leave them both blank, press ok

Answer 3

Are we talking wired or Wireless??

Answer 4

If you're tethering your phone to your computer, then you'll need to call Verizon to get them to set up the phone properly.  As a rule, you have to download the drivers for the phone to the computer, then create a dial-up networking connection and "point" it at the port through which the phone is connected.

If you're trying for wi-fi (a wireless connection such as you'd find at an airport, coffee shop, library, etc.), then you need to be near a wireless access point of some description; be sure your wi-fi connection (the wireless NIC card) is turned on, and the connection enabled.  If your home has cable or DSL, you can add a wireless router to easily create a wireless access point if you wish - it's a 10-minute process, and the router will usually cost you about $40.

Answer 5

You should call Verizon helpline to retrieve the username and password. Why Dell? Their customer support is the lowest rated.
