Using the Internet
The Internet is a global, interlinked network
of computers that allows you to connect your
computer with others throughout the world. You
can send and receive e-mail, find information on
the World Wide Web, and access many other
services.
The Basics
Before you begin surfing the Internet, ensure that
your computer modem phone line or broadband
cable is connected, as shown in the Quick Setup
guide included with your computer.
Next, establish an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
account. On certain models, Compaq provides a
selection of ISPs for you to choose from; check your
Windows desktop.
