Transferring Internet settings
You can use different methods to transfer your Internet account from your old
computer to your new one.
Setting up your ISP
■ If your current Internet service provider (ISP) software came pre-installed
on your new computer, 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 pre-installed on your new computer,
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 computer.
■ 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:
1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, then click New
Connection Wizard. The New Connection wizard opens.
2 Configure your Internet settings by following the on-screen instructions.

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 computer’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 computer to retrieve the e-mail
messages.
