Making Connections
Using the Modem
2. Click the Connect button in the Dial-up Connection window.
When you are successfully connected to the Internet, you'll see a connect icon (two
connected computers) in the taskbar. You are now ready to explore the Internet! To go to
a specific Web site, enter the address (for example, http://www.hp.com) in the browser's
Address field. To search for information on the Web, you can use the browser's Search
tool and enter the word or phrase you are looking for.
To disconnect from the Internet
You remain connected to the Internet until you shut down the computer, disconnect the
phone line from the computer, or give a command to hang up the connection.
• Double-click the connect icon in the taskbar, and click Disconnect.
To dial in to a network
You can use the modem to dial in to a LAN (local area network) that supports dial-in
connections. This gives you access to network resources from a remote location.
• See Windows Help for information about setting up and using dial-in network
connections—click Start, Help.
