Configuring Your Browser

An Internet browser is a program used to find and display Web pages. To find a page, the browser must connect to the Internet, via either phone lines or a LAN (Local Area Network).

When using a cable modem, you need to set the browser to connect to the Internet via a LAN.

This chapter describes how to configure some of the most common Internet browsers. It is beyond the scope of this manual to give step-by-step instructions for all versions of all browsers, so the instructions below cover only the major versions of the most common browsers. If you are using another browser, please consult the documentation that came with it.
