Connecting to the Internet through the CD-ROM
*******************************************************
The Odyssey CD-ROM frequently links to the Internet using your Netscape
Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or the America Online Internet
Explorer, depending on what Internet Service Provider or Online Service you
may use.

While the Odyssey program is running, Launch your Internet
Service Provider and log in.  Then minimize it by clicking the minus button
on the top right corner, or use the ALT/TAB keys to switch back to the
Odyssey program.  You can then click on embedded links in the CD-ROM to
link to destination websites, the Odysseymall store pages, and other
exciting content. 

If you do not have Internet access, we invite you to install the EarthLink
Network software included. 

If you get an error message, or a web page or dialogue box displays with a
message like "Failed to Connect" or "Couldn't Find" a certain web address,
close the web browser, but keep the Odyssey Application running.  Go to
your start menu, launch your Internet Service Provider or AOL application,
and sign on.  Then try the Odyssey link again from within the Odyssey
application.  

IF YOU DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE AN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
*******************************************************************
Panasonic and Odyssey have provided a copy of the Earthlink Network if you
don't currently have an Internet Service Provider.  To install Earthlink,
launch the Odyssey CD from your start menu (Go Start, then Programs, then
Odyssey, then select Panasonic Odyssey Disc.)  From the main menu, select
Software, then Earthlink.  The software will prompt you through the
installation process.
