# Connecting to the Internet or a network

Use the Network Manager applet in the top panel to set up your network and Internet connections. It will change its appearance depending on what sort of connection you have; it might look like a wireless antenna or two arrows, for example. Look near the clock to find it.

If you want to connect to a network, left-click the Network Manager icon and choose a network from the list.

If you don't see a network on the list, or want to view or change some network settings, right-click the Network Manager icon and choose the appropriate option.
