Connecting to a Web site

After you set up an account with an Internet service

provider (ISP), you can access the many information

sources on the World Wide Web.

To connect to a Web site:

1 Connect to your Internetaccount.

2 Depending on the method you use to connect to

your Internet account, you may need to start

your Web browser. Click (Start), then click

Internet. Your default Web browser opens

showing an opening page or welcome screen.

3 To 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.

- OR -

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

site.

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.
