Using an Internet service provider (ISP)
Before you can connect to the Internet, you must establish an ISP account. Contact a local ISP to
purchase Internet service and a modem. The ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable to
connect your wireless computer to the modem, and test the Internet service.
NOTE:
Your ISP will give you a user ID and password to access the Internet. Record this information
and store it in a safe place.
The following features will help you set up a new Internet account or configure the computer to use an
existing account:
