Transferring Internet settings
You can use different methods to transfer your Internet account from your old computer to your new one.
Setting up your ISP
■If your current Internet service provider (ISP) software came preinstalled on your new computer, run that setup program. If it asks to set up a new account or an existing one, choose to set up an existing account.
■If your current ISP software is not preinstalled on your new computer, locate the original Internet setup program provided by your local ISP, or contact your ISP to see if they have an updated version of their software, and install it on your new computer.
■If you use MSN as your ISP, or if you know your ISP settings, use the Windows Internet Connection Wizard.
To use the Internet Connection Wizard:
1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, then click New Connection Wizard. The New Connection wizard opens.
