Internet connection

I received an Optiplex 260 for Christmas. How do I find out if I have the proper hardware/software to setup an internet connection. Does this computer have a moden installed or do I have to get one and install it? I did not receive a user's manual with it.

Thanks,

Jackie

    contact your ISP (internet service provider)  they will tell you to plug your PC to your router and bam you have internet via Internet Explorer, blue E on desktop.

    Hello,

    You can find your manual HERE.

    Look for a jack on the back that a telephone cord will plug into. If you find one, you have a modem.

    Look for a jack that looks like the phone jack but larger. If you find one you have a network connection.

    You may find that you have both. :emotion-21:
