Our tips and hints …
... for establishing a connection to the Internet
You can establish an Internet connection with the help of a
CD/DVD provided by an Internet service provider or without the
help of a CD/DVD.
If you are establishing an Internet connection through a provider,
insert the provider’s CD/DVD into the CD/DVD drive and follow the
on-screen instructions.
To establish an Internet connection without a CD/DVD, you must
obtain the dial-up number of the provider which you wish to use,
the user name and the password. Then proceed as follows:
• If no previous Internet connection has been set up on your PC,
click on: "Start"; "Control Panel", "Network and Internet
connections", "Establish or create own Internet
connection". In the "Internet properties" screen click on
"Setup". The "New Connection Wizard" will appear. Follow
the setup procedure here.
• If an Internet connection is already set up on your PC, you can
set up an additional provider using "Start" - "All Programs" –
"Accessories" – "Communications" – "New Connection
Wizard".
Follow the setup procedure here also. Having an
additional Internet service provider means that you can benefit
from using the cheaper usage times of the different providers.
