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 the included telephone cord to your built-in modem. If you prefer, you can
instead use a PC Card modem or an external modem to connect to an ISP.
2. If there is an Easy Internet Signup icon on the desktop, double-click it. This will
launch an Internet setup wizard, which will help you locate an ISP in your area.
or
Click Start, Programs, Online Services and select one of the listed ISPs. This begins
the registration process for the ISP you have chosen.
You can also make arrangements with an ISP of your choice for Internet connection.
