Learning the Basics
An overview of using the Internet
2
Start your Web browser. Have your modem dial the ISP’s
telephone number, and establish a connection with the ISP’s
computer.
Toshiba and Yahoo! have joined together to offer you a free
account on Yahoo!. In order to sign up for Yahoo!, you must have
an Internet access account.
If you are using your computer at the office, then you probably
connect to the Internet through your company’s network. See your
network administrator about connecting to the Internet.
Surfing the Internet
Once connected to the Internet, the Web browser displays a home
page, for example, your ISP’s home page on the Internet or your
company’s Web site home page.
To visit a desired Web site, type in the Web address. The Web
address, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL), is a unique
identifier for that computer system linked to the Internet. Web
addresses can also appear within a Web page’s text, and are known
as links. Clicking a link automatically transfers your Web browser
to that site.
You can also use a Search Engine, a Web site specifically designed
to help you look for information.
Internet features
The Internet offers many types of communication tools to help
you perform many tasks.
❖
Internet email
To send and receive email of your own, you need a mailbox
on the Web, or an email address.
If you have an account with an ISP, you can probably set up
an email address at the same time as you sign up for the
service.
