Setting Up Internet Services

This chapter describes how to obtain and set up Internet services.

This section covers the following topics:

■“Finding an Internet service provider” on page 2-1

■“Deciding on an ISP account” on page 2-2

■“Obtaining information from the ISP” on page 2-3

Note: Some companies act as their own ISP. For example, some organizations have branch ofﬁces that can use the Netopia R5000 Series to access the Internet via the main ofﬁce. If you install the Netopia R5000 Series in this type of environment, refer to the following sections for speciﬁc information you must receive from the network administrator to conﬁgure the Netopia R5000 Series properly.

Finding an Internet service provider

Internet access is available from Internet service providers (ISPs). Typically, there are several ISPs in each area. To locate ISPs in your area, consult your telephone book, local computer magazines, the business section of a local newspaper, or the following URL on the Internet: ‘http://www.thelist.com’. Also see Netopia’s home page at ‘http://www.netopia.com’ for a list of special programs and promotions for Netopia customers.

If your area has more than one ISP, the following considerations may help you decide which ISP is best suited for your requirements.

Use an ISP that provides Internet access through a digital line.
