3To go to a different Web site, type the address (called a URL for “Universal Resource Locator”) in the browser address bar (for example www.emachines.com), then click GO on the browser address bar.

On the current Web page, click a link to a Web site.

Help

For more information about connecting to a Web site, click Start, then click Help and Support. Type connecting to a Web site in the Search Help box, then press ENTER.

The Web browser locates the server computer on the Internet, downloads (transfers) data to your computer, and displays the page on the site that you requested.

Sometimes Web pages display slowly. The speed that a Web page displays on your screen depends on the complexity of the Web page and other Internet conditions. Additionally, the speed of your connection will determine how fast Web pages display.
