Connecting to a Web site
After you set up an account with an Internet service provider (ISP), you can
access the many information sources on the World Wide Web.
To connect to a Web site:
1
Connect to your Internet account. After your tablet PC connects, a default
opening page or welcome screen opens.
2
To go to a different Web site, type the address (called a URL for “Universal
Resource Locator”) in the browser address bar (for example
www.gateway.com), then tap
GO on the browser address bar.
- OR -
On the current Web page, tap a link to a Web site.
The Web browser locates the server computer on the Internet, downloads
(transfers) data to your tablet PC, and displays the page on the site that
you requested.
Sometimes Web pages display slowly. The speed that a Web page displays on
your screen depends on the complexity of the Web page and other Internet
conditions. Additionally, the speed of your connection will determine how fast
Web pages display.
