Setting up an Internet Service Provider (ISP) Account

An ISP gives you access to the Internet. Just as you need an account with a cable company to have cable service, you must also have an ISP account to access the Internet and to use eMail.

After setting up your Internet connection, you can press the Instant Internet button on your Internet keyboard, and then like magic—you’re on the Web!

Did you know ...

If you have problems connecting to an ISP, call the ISP for assistance.

After registering with Compaq and Microsoft, you are prompted to set up an ISP account.

To set up your account, do one of the following:

If you want Compaq.NET powered by MSN as your ISP, click the Compaq.NET powered by MSN icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you already have Compaq.NET powered by MSN as your ISP, click I already have Compaq.NET powered by MSN and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you want America Online (AOL) as your ISP, click the America Online icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you already have AOL as your ISP, click I already have America Online and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you already have an existing Internet account other than Compaq.NET powered by MSN or AOL, click

I Already Have an Internet Provider and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If you do not sign up for an ISP account now, you can click the Free Internet Trial icon on your desktop and sign up any time you like.
