Connecting to the Internet

 

When you first click on a program that requires Internet access (like a Web

 

browser or an e-mail program), Windows XP will ask you a series of questions that

 

will guide you through the process of signing up with an ISP (Internet Service

 

Provider) and connecting to the Internet. An ISP is a service that allows your

 

computer to connect to the Internet. The type of service and cost may vary from

 

provider to provider. Most charge a monthly fee for a specified number of hours of

 

access plus one or more e-mail accounts.

 

Your computer is equipped with a standard v.92 dial-up modem as well as a

 

network (Ethernet) port. If you have a working phone connection, you should be

 

able to sign up for and use a standard dial-up connection to access the Internet.

 

You can also use the network port or wireless networking connection (if included

 

in your notebook and supported by your local network) to connect to the Internet

 

if you have access to a network with Internet access.

 

High-speed Internet access (DSL, cable or satellite) is available in some areas for

 

an additional charge. High-speed Internet services require additional equipment

 

that must be purchased or obtained from your ISP before you can enable

14

high-speed Internet access.
