# What You Need to Connect to the Internet If your machine is part of a local area network (LAN), then your connection to the Internet will be via a server on the network. You will need to enter the configuration details of your computer on the LAN. Ask your system administrator for help. Otherwise, you will need a modem and telephone line. The following is a checklist for your modem connection:
| Internet Service Provider Account
| Contact an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to start an account with them. They will provide you with all the dialing information that you need to access the Internet. The number they provide you with is usually charged at a local call rate. If you have E-mail also, you will need your E-mail account details.
| Contact your hardware supplier for information about supported Internet Service Providers.
| Internet and Dialing Information - your ISP should provide these details. These details are entered either when you install DR-WebSpyder or in the Setup pages after installing DR-WebSpyder.
| Refer to the section Setting Up DR-WebSpyder For the First time to set up your connection to the Internet.
| Connection to a telephone line.
| Connect your machine to a telephone line using an internal or external modem.
Note: When you are browsing the Internet, you will be charged either by your Internet Service Provider, or the telephone company, or both. Make sure you know how you are charged before connecting to the Internet. Return to Help Contents
