the readiness of broadband Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP).

may need to copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of
your firewall. Write down this information before reconfiguring your computers. Refer

Preparing Your Computers for TCP/IP Networking

Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed and selected as its
networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) is already installed in your PC, then TCP/
IP is probably already installed as well.
Most operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/IP:
Windows
®
95 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network.
Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/
IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon.
Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a
TCP/IP network.
All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions provided
with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer.
