Connecting to the Internet
NOTE:
ISPs and ISP offerings vary by country.
To connect to the Internet, you need a modem or network connection and an Internet
service provider (ISP), such as AOL or MSN. Your ISP will offer one or more of the
following Internet connection options:
•
Dial-up connections that provide Internet access through a phone line. Dial-up
connections are considerably slower than DSL and cable modem connections.
•
DSL connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your existing phone
line. With a DSL connection, you can access the Internet and use your phone on the
same line simultaneously.
•
Cable modem connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your local
cable TV line.
If you are using a dial-up connection, connect a telephone line to the modem connector on
your computer and to the telephone wall jack before you set up your Internet connection. If
you are using a DSL or cable modem connection, contact your ISP for setup instructions.
Setting Up Your Internet Connection

1
Save and close any open files, and exit any open programs.
2
Double-click the
MSN Explorer
or
AOL
icon on the Windows
®
desktop.
