Dial-up Connection or Network Connection window.
For Windows 98 or 2000, when you are successfully connected to the Internet, you’ll see
a connect icon (two connected computers) next to the clock on the taskbar. For Windows

To use AOL as your ISP
When you use AOL as your ISP, you can access the Internet only with AOL’s own
software; you can’t use a standard browser like Internet Explorer. As a result:

Reference Guide
that link to the HP notebook web site).
•
You cannot go to a web site by entering the address in Windows Explorer.
If you try to access the Internet without using the AOL software, the Internet Connection
wizard automatically launches, asking you to sign up for an ISP. In that case, cancel the
wizard and launch AOL.
For additional ISP information, please refer to the Microsoft Operating Manual included
in your box or Windows Help.

phone line from the computer, or give a command to hang up the connection.

computers next to the clock) on the taskbar, and click Disconnect.
