Exploring Your Options
An overview of using the Internet
Once you have established an ISP account, you can connect to the
Internet.
1
Connect your computer’s modem to a telephone line.
For more information on connecting a modem, see
“Connecting your modem to a telephone line” on
page 78
2
Start your Web browser. Have your modem dial the ISP’s
telephone number, and establish a connection with the ISP’s
computer.
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.
