Windows 2000 establishes an Internet connection

Windows must also establish an Internet connection before using the Internet. Otherwise, even if the user's computer is connected to the Internet and cannot access the Internet, get information on the network. However, to establish an Internet connection, users need to select a service provider (I P) for themselves and request a user account.
Since the Internet is based on time billing, so in the selection of computers and the Internet connection, you must consider the network performance and price ratio, in order to spend the least money to achieve maximum results. For large enterprises, multiple users are required to share an Internet route, preferably with a dedicated line connection, which allows these users to share this high-speed connection across the intranet, while for the majority of users, home users and small businesses, using a modem to dial up to the Internet is the best option.
