    <steps>
      <item><p>The network connection icon on the right-hand side of the top
       bar shows that you are offline.</p>
      <p>The offline status can be caused by a number of reasons: for
       example, a network cable has been unplugged, the computer has been set
       to run in <em>airplane mode</em>, or there are no available Wi-Fi
       networks in your area.</p>
      <p>If you want to use a wired connection, just plug in a network
      cable to go online. The computer will try to set up the network
      connection for you automatically.</p>
      <p>While the computer sets up a network connection for you, the
      network connection icon shows three dots.</p></item>
      <item><p>Once the network connection has been successfully set up, the
      network connection icon changes to the networked computer symbol.</p></item>
