Setting up your ISP
If your current Internet service provider

new notebook, run that setup program. If
it asks to set up a new account or an
existing one, choose to set up an existing
account.
If your current ISP software is not
■
preinstalled on your new notebook, locate
the original Internet setup program
provided by your local ISP, or contact your
ISP to see if they have an updated version
of their software, and install it on your new
notebook.
If you use MSN as your ISP, or if you know
■
your ISP settings, use the Windows Internet
Connection Wizard.
To use the Internet Connection Wizard:
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories,

Transferring your e-mail and address book
See your old e-mail program's online help for
information on exporting and importing e-mail
messages and the address book. You can often
export all of your old e-mail messages or address
book to recordable media, then import them
into your new notebook's e-mail program. You
may also want to consider printing the old
information or using your old computer to send
the e-mail messages to yourself, then using your
new notebook to retrieve the e-mail messages.
