HELP with Thinkpad 380XD - how do you get on the internet?

I have an older thinkpad 380 XD which seems to be working fine.  It has been in the closet for a while but just charged it and it is working well.  I can't figure out how to get onto the internet though.  Any clues?? I have searched the boards, this website, downloaded the manual - none of these address how to connect to the internet.  THis laptop has one USB port, a bunch of pin ports, a pop out for telephone line for a fax modem, but I can't figure this out.  I am a Mac user so this is new to me.
Can anyone help me with this?

I would strongly suggest getting a PCMCIA LAN card and going broadband...

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • How do you get into the BIOS on a Satellite 320 CDS.

    Hi my name is steve I was wondering how do you get into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CDS. As this is my first format on a lap top. Done plenty on desktop computers just never laptops. As some fool tried to do it before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is after the toshiba logo disappears this message comes up, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. It use to run Windows 98 and it worked great for how old it is. Was hoping to put XP on it but its only got a small hard drive (4099mb). So will have to put 98 back on it till I get a bigger hard drive.Only need it to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I mainly want to get into the BIOS for format. Any instruction on how to get into the BIOS would be great, as I'm good from there. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    I don't know the exact method for the Satellite 320 CDS.
    But most of the Toshiba notebooks use one of the following methods.
    If you see a message while booting "Press F2 to enter setup", do it and you get into BIOS.
    Or you have to press ESC while booting, then press F1 when prompted to and you are in the BIOS.
    Bye

  • HOW DO YOU GET TO THE RAID SETTINGS ON THIS THING (GT60 2O)???

    Dude... I been online for 40 minutes looking for instructions on how to get around this box. I can't find anything relevant, so I'm just gonna ask. How do you get to the settings for SUPER RAID 2? I can't find any information on it and now I'm really getting frustrated!! Any help would be appreciated.

    First go into your BIOS and set the controller to RAID instead of AHCI/IDE/whatever it is.
    You should then be able to use some key combination (such as ALT+H or whatever it is) to enter the Intel Raid ROM and setup the RAID in there.

  • How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation:?

    How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation"?  When I transfer a CD to iTunes, and the CD has ten tracks, it loads as ten different albums.  Also, once this happens, do I have to delete the album and start over or is there a way to merge the albums in iTunes?  Using iTunes 10.04.08.

    And you've made me remember that using the compilation flag may only work in iTunes if you go into the Songs view, then use View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser and then View > Column Browser > Group Compilations to make sure this line is ticked.
    It is also best if View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists is also ticked.

  • TS1702 How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

    How do you get past the FAQ page on free music downloads??

    "BSOsoft".  You really ought to practice asking coherent questions.
    If I have downloaded the same app as you, I'd guess tapping the button called "Download All Pro - Click Here to Download" which is right at the top of the FAQ screen might be as good a guess as any.

    You don't Use QT 7 "Pro", GarageBand, a video editor app, or a third-party app like MPEG Streamclip all of which can access user conversion settings.

  • Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

    Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them.  It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

    Hello,
    Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
    What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
    Good luck!

  • HT201269 How do you get to the setup assistant if the iphone was already setup?

    How can I get to the setup assistant if the iPhone is already setup?

    Hey Toddheel,
    Thanks for the question, and great question by the way. If you have a device that has already been setup, you can erase it to return to the iOS Setup Assistant:
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How do you get to the firefox safe mode?

    The example show what to do when you get to safe mode but it does not show the step of how to get to safe mode. In order to get to the safe mode how do you get there? The steps are not clear, I guess what I am asking is what are the step by step instructions starting from where to do go to get the safe mode choice?
    My main problem is my enter button does not work in firefox google search. It will work for a short time and all of a sudden it will stop. How can I fix this problem as well?

    You can also try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites (e.g. google.com) that cause problems.
