Preparing Your Network

This document describes how to prepare your network to connect to the Internet through a router and how to verify the readiness of your broadband Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP).


	Note: If your computer was configured during the installation of a broadband modem, or by using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to copy the ISP configuration information for use in the configuration of your router. Write down this information before reconfiguring your computers. Refer to "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information for Windows Computers" on page 2-19 or "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information for Macintosh Computers" on page 2-20 for further information.
