•
If you signed up with another ISP, double-click the Internet Explorer icon on the
desktop (if available), or click Start, Programs, Internet Explorer (Windows 98 or
2000) or Start, Internet Explorer (Windows XP). Then click the Connect button in the
Dial-up Connection or Network Connection window.
For Windows 98 or 2000, when you are successfully connected to the Internet, you’ll see
a connect icon (two connected computers) next to the clock on the taskbar. For Windows
XP, to display an icon for your connection, open Network Connections in Control Panel,
right-click the connection, select Properties, and select the icon option.
You are now ready to explore the Internet. To go to a specific web site, enter the address
(for example, www.hp.com) in the browser’s Address field. To search for information on
the Web, use the browser’s Search tool and enter the word or phrase you are looking for.
To use AOL as your ISP
When you use AOL as your ISP, you can access the Internet only with AOL’s own
software; you can’t use a standard browser like Internet Explorer. As a result:
•
You cannot view web sites by clicking on links (such as those in the electronic
Reference Guide that link to the HP notebook web site).
•
You cannot go to a web site by entering the address in Windows Explorer.
If you try to access the Internet without using the AOL software, the Internet Connection
wizard automatically launches, asking you to sign up for an ISP. In that case, cancel the
wizard and launch AOL.
For additional ISP information, please refer to the Microsoft Operating Manual included
in your box or Windows Help.
To disconnect from the Internet
You remain connected to the Internet until you shut down the computer, disconnect the
phone line from the computer, or give a command to hang up the connection.
•
To disconnect from AOL, use the Sign Off menu.
•
To disconnect from other ISPs, double-click the connect icon (two connected
computers next to the clock) on the taskbar, and click Disconnect.
OR
For Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections,
Network Connections, then right-click the connection and select Disconnect.
