Using the Modem
Reference Guide
57
To use AOL as your ISP
When you use AOL as your Internet Service Provider, you can access the Internet only
with AOL’s own software; you can’t use a standard browser such as Internet Explorer.
As a result:
•
You cannot view web sites by clicking on links (such as those in the electronic
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. If this happens, cancel
the wizard and launch AOL.
For additional ISP information, refer to the Microsoft manual included with your
notebook, or to Windows Help and Support.
To disconnect from the Internet
Once connected to the Internet, your notebook’s modem remains connected until you
turn off the notebook, disconnect the phone line from the notebook, or give a command
to end the connection.
•
To disconnect from AOL, use the Sign Off menu.
•
To disconnect from other ISPs, double-click the connect icon in the taskbar, then
click Disconnect. (You can enable this icon as described in “To connect to the
Internet,” above.)
–or–
Click Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Network Connections,
then right-click the connection and select Disconnect.
To dial in to a network
You can use your notebook’s modem to dial in to a LAN (local area network) that
supports dial-in connections. This gives you access to network resources from a remote
location.
•
See Windows Help and Support for information about setting up and using dial-in
network connections.
