Setting Up Your Computer

Connecting to the Internet

 

NOTE: 

ISPs and ISP offerings vary by country.

To connect to the Internet, you need a modem or network connection and an Internet service 
provider (ISP). Your ISP will offer one or more of the following Internet connection options:

•

Dial-up connections that provide Internet access through a telephone line. Dial-up connections 
are considerably slower than DSL and cable modem connections.

•

DSL connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your existing telephone line. 
With a DSL connection, you can access the Internet and use your telephone on the same line 
simultaneously.

•

Cable modem connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your local cable 
TV line.

If you are using a dial-up connection, connect a telephone line to the modem connector on your 
computer and to the telephone wall jack before you set up your Internet connection. If you are using 
a DSL or cable modem connection, contact your ISP for setup instructions.
