There are four ingredients needed to access the
Internet
ISP
a modem
a Web browser
an e-mail program.
THE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP)

Your access to the Internet is through an
Internet service provider (ISP), which can be a
large company such as America Online or MSN,
or any of hundreds of smaller ISPs throughout
the country. You are offered unlimited access for
a fixed rate per month.
THE MODEM
Depending on the kind of service you have, you
will need a unit of hardware called a "modem" for
connection. Slow-speed dial-up telephone access
uses an analog modem, which may already be
installed in your computer. If not, one can be
plugged into the USB port.
 If you sign up for cable or DSL service, which is
from 40 to 100 times faster than telephone dialup, your provider may send you the appropriate
modem, or you can purchase it at your local
electronics store. Quite simply, opt for the highspeed service if you can. Dial-up modems are an
exercise in extreme patience.

BROWSING THE WEB

A Windows PC comes with the Internet Explorer Web
browser. The Mac comes with Safari. Windows users
quite often choose a different browser such as Firefox
(www.mozilla.org) or Opera (www.opera.com), which
offer additional features and are not as subject to
attack by hackers. Likewise, Mac users may opt for
Firefox.
The first time you hook up to a new ISP, you may
need their assistance to configure the dial-up or
networking software in your computer. After that, all
you do is launch the browser, and you are "surfing the
Web."
AN EMAIL PROGRAM
Most internet services can be accessed by e-mail.
Just about the only technologies you can’t access
by email are those that are inherently interactive
by nature, such as IRC and MUD’s, where you
need to participate in real time.
 The most common form of internet access by
email getting web pages for people that don’t
have direct web access, perhaps because they are
not directly connected to the internet or they
have a very low bandwidth connection.

ACCESS METHOD
OF INTERNET
DIAL-UP CONNECTION
. It is the analog form of internet connection. In
this type of connection, user creates a temporary
connection with the ISP, uses the internet
services and than disconnect the connection. The
user is charged a fixed amount depending upon
the time period for which the connection was
active. Dial-up connection was the most popular
and cheapest way to use the internet in the
beginning days of the internet. To establish a
dial-up connection, you only need a computer
equipped with a device called “modem” and a
telephone connection to connect your computer to
ISP.
INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK

The ISDN connection is the digital form of
internet connection in which the user
permanently stage connected with the ISP and
the billing is done on the basis of data
transmitted through the link and not on the basis
of time-of connection. This type of connection is
very high speed connection that supports
audio/video and animations on the web.
CABLE CONNECTION

It is one of the upcoming types of internet
connection that deliver very high data transfer
speed i.e. up to 20 mbps. You can use such
connection through a cable modem. The cable TV
wire will provide support for the internet also.
WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTIONS

This is the latest ype of internet connection in
which you can access the internet without using
any wire. The receiver is placed at your premises
to receive the internet signal. This type of
connection also provides very high data
transmission but it is costly not much available.
