Windows users: Your software that you use to make an Internet
connection must be set for a network connection, not a dial-up
connection. The instructions below are for Internet Explorer, the
most popular Web browser. If you are using Netscape Navigator
or another browser, set it up now to use a network connection
(this might be called a “Local Area Network” or “broadband”
connection).
If you use Internet Explorer, you need Version 5 or later. Most
people have the right version. If you don’t, we suggest you get a
free upgrade.
If you want to check your version number, open Internet Explorer,
select Help, then About Internet Explorer. Your version number
is right under the Microsoft Internet Explorer logo. You can ignore
all the numbers after the period following the first digit.
