Setting up an Internet connection

The Internet Connection wizard provides you with an easy way to get connected to the Internet. Whether you've never explored the Internet before or have spent many hours online, the Internet Connection wizard can help you set up a connection.

For new Internet users, the Internet Connection wizard creates an Internet connection for you, and then displays a list of Internet service providers (ISPs) and information about their services. You can sign up for a new account by clicking an ISP in the list.

If you already have an account with an ISP and want to create an Internet connection to your account, the Internet Connection wizard collects all the necessary information from you and then creates the connection.

If you are not already running the wizard, you can start it from Internet Explorer as follows:

1. On the Tools menu in the browser, click Internet Options.

2. Click the Connections tab, and then click Setup.

3. Follow the instructions on your screen.
