To connect to the Internet, you need a modem or network connection and an Internet service<br />
provider (ISP), such as AOL or MSN. Your ISP will offer one or more of the following Internet<br />
connection options:<br />
Dial-up connections that provide Internet access through a telephone line. Dial-up<br />
connections are considerably slower than DSL and cable modem connections.<br />
DSL connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your existing telephone<br />
line. With a DSL connection, you can access the Internet and use your telephone on the same<br />
line simultaneously.<br />
Cable modem connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your local cable<br />
TV line.<br />
If you are using a dial-up connection, connect a telephone line to the modem connector on your<br />
computer and to the telephone wall jack before you set up your Internet connection. If you are<br />
using a DSL or cable modem connection, contact your ISP for setup instructions.<br />
