Step 3: Configuring Your Web Browser

Important!

This section is for Windows computers only. If you are using a Macintosh or Linux computer, your browser is already configured properly. However, you must ensure that your computer’s TCP/IP settings are configured properly. See Macintosh TCP/IP Settings on page 49 or Linux TCP/IP Settings on page 51 for instructions on how to do this.

When using a Windows computer, the software that you use to make an Internet connection must be set for a network connection, not a dial-up connection.

This section includes instructions for recent versions of two popular Web browsers: Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (or later) and Netscape Navigator Version 7.2.

Depending on the browser you have on your Windows computer, follow the corresponding instructions in this section.

Tip:

If you are using an earlier version of one of these browsers, the configuration may be slightly different from below. In those cases—or if you are using another browser altogether—configure the browser to use a network connection (this might be called a “Local Area Network” or “broadband” connection).
