Signing up with an Internet Service Provider
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that has the
equipment and the telecommunication lines necessary to maintain
an Internet connection.
Microsoft’s Web browser, Internet Explorer, which is preinstalled
on your system, is automatically configured so that when you first
start it, it guides you through signing up for a new ISP account, or
assists you in setting up your computer to work with your existing
ISP.
Once you have established an ISP account, you can access the
Internet.
