using the internet    

 

Use Easy Internet Sign-up (available on select models only) to sign up for a 
new or an existing ISP account; see “signing up for a new or an existing isp 
account using easy internet sign-up” on page 33. The software programs for 
available ISPs are part of your PC. 
The Windows desktop may have a folder called Online Services, which 
includes icons for accessing various online services. These icons are part of the 
Windows operating system, but they are not functional in all 
countries/regions. 

 

Using Easy Internet Sign-up (available on select models only) you can: 

• 

Sign up for a new Internet account. 

• 

Set up an existing account. 

• 

Read about Internet access using a LAN (Local Area Network), cable modem, 
or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line). 

 

If you decide to use a DSL or cable Internet connection, contact your ISP for any 
specific software and hardware you may need. 

To open Easy Internet Sign-up: 

Double-click the Easy Internet Sign-up icon on the desktop. 

1 Click Start on the taskbar. 
2 Choose All Programs. Choose Online Services. 
3 Click Easy Internet Sign-up. 

Follow the onscreen instructions. 

 

 Your modem cable must be connected to the telephone service line in 

order for Easy Internet Sign-up to find and obtain updated information about 
services. 

 

 If you are using MSN or AOL, and you have questions, refer to the 

information in Easy Internet Sign-up or contact the ISP directly. 

A Web browser program searches for, finds and displays Web site information. 
How you explore the Internet depends on whether you are using an ISP that 
provides the browser, or an ISP that allows you to use any browser.
