Get Connected
How does it work? You need to subscribe to an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) which is your ‘port’ to the net. After doing that
you can access the Net with your internet browser MS Internet
Explorer and the mail program MS Outlook Express.
Compaq has preselected an Internet provider for you to make it
as easy as possible. To make your first contact with the Net and
your provider, please make sure your PC is on and connected to
the phone line as described in chapter 2.
To get connected, you click the Internet ISP icon on the desktop.
This icon differs per country.
This will start a setup wizard which will guide you through the
setup process. This chapter shows you further the basics to
identify your modem and the use of the Internet.
