Using an Internet service provider
Before you can connect to the Internet, you must establish an account with an Internet service
provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. 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.
