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 preinstalled
on your 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.
