Surfing Tips

After you have set up an Internet connection with your ISP and you log on to the Internet, you are ready to surf. To help your surfing experience be productive, we have provided a few tips, after a quick review on the Internet.

To begin surfing the Internet you must use a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. However, some ISPs, such as America Online, require you to log on to their service before you can use a Web browser.

There are two ways to connect to the Internet:

•By starting the ISP program.

•By starting the Web browser program.

If you start the ISP first, there are two ways to begin surfing the Internet:

•By using the ISP connection to the Internet (usually an icon on the task menu).

•By minimizing the ISP program and starting the Web browser from the Windows desktop.

Each of the browsers has a default “home” page. The home page is the first page displayed as the browser launches. Compaq has configured the browser to launch a Compaq-recommended Web site, which you can customize to your own taste. Of course you can change this home page if you want to start at another Web site. Look in the browser Help files for instructions on resetting the default home page.

Accessing a Search Engine

Once you access the Internet, your can begin searching for information using a search engine.

A search engine is a type of program found on various Web sites that allows you to search the Internet for keywords you type in. The search engine will return a list of Web pages that have your keywords in them.

There are many search engines to choose from on the Internet, such as AltaVista. To go to one of these search engines, type in the URL, such as www.altavista.com in the Address box. This will take you to the AltaVista home page.

The browsers have a Search button that will automatically take you to their recommended search engine, and your Internet PC comes with a button that takes you to a search engine.
