Introducing Your Computer Setting Up the Computer To connect to an Internet Service Provider Before you can connect to the Internet, you need to set up an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). In some countries, Hewlett-Packard provides easy Internet signup so that you can connect quickly to an ISP. 1. Connect your built-in modem. (If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can instead use a PC card modem or an external modem.) 2. Click Start, Programs, Online Services (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, All Programs, Easy Internet Signup (Windows XP), and select one of the listed ISPs. This begins the registration process for the ISP you have chosen. OR If available, double-click the Connect to the Internet or Easy Internet Signup desktop icon. This launches the Internet Connection or New Connection wizard, which helps you locate an ISP in your area, transfer an existing Internet account to this computer, or set up an Internet connection manually. If AOL is your ISP, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click Internet Options (Windows 98 or 2000), or click Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Internet Options (Windows XP). Select the Connections tab, then select either "Dial whenever a network connection is not present" or "Always dial my default connection." You can also make arrangements with an ISP of your choice for Internet connection. Corporate Evaluator's Guide 29
