With an Internet connection and Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can find and view information about anything on the Web.

If Internet Explorer was set up on your computer by a local area network (LAN) administrator, or you used an Internet service provider's (ISP) installation program, then you're probably ready to connect to the Internet. Otherwise, the Internet Connection Wizard will guide you through establishing a connection to the Internet. You will need the following information from your Internet service provider or local area network administrator:

To connect through an Internet service provider: your account name and password.

To connect through a local area network: the name of the proxy server and the port number. Additionally, your local area network administrator may provide special settings to configure your browser for your corporate network.

Once you're set up, take a look at some of the things you can do on the Web. From basic browsing and searching, to viewing channels and subscriptions, Internet Explorer is not only the best browser, it's the easiest. For more ideas about what you can do, explore the Help Contents.
