Practical - 11 : Install and Test Internet

Aim : Install and Test Internet

Description : 

• The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over the world. Through the Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection.
• Depending on whether you have a cable or DSL internet service provider (ISP), the steps you'll need to take to setup your internet connection will be different.
• Here two types of connections are available :
• Setting Up a Cable Internet Connection
• Setting Up a DSL Internet Connection

1. Setting Up a Cable Internet Connection :

Installation :

• Step - 1 : Plug the cable modem into your computer.

• Step - 2 : Plug the cable modem into the wall cable socket.

• Step - 3 : Plug in the cable modem's power cord.
• Most modem's don't have an On/Off switch. Plugging and unplugging them is how you turn them on and off.
• When the cable modem is turned on, it has to go through a boot up process. You can tell this process is done when most of the lights have turned on and stopped blinking. There's usually one light that will keep blinking.
• It usually takes about 30-60 seconds for a modem to finish turning on.

Testing :

• Step - 4 : Test your internet connection.
• Open a web browser and go to a website that you haven't been to before. If you go to a website you've been to recently, your browser may load it from its cache. If the website loaded, then you're connected to the internet. If not, complete the rest of the steps. Testing your connection is not limited to web browsers; you can use any other program that requires internet.
• Searching for something using a search engine is a good way to do this.

2. Setting Up a DSL Internet Connection :

Installation :

• Step - 1 : Plug the DSL modem into your computer.

• Step - 2 : Plug the DSL modem into the wall cable socket.

• Step - 3 : Plug in the cable modem's power cord.
• Most modem's don't have an On/Off switch. Plugging and unplugging them is how you turn them on and off.
• When the cable modem is turned on, it has to go through a boot up process. You can tell this process is done when most of the lights have turned on and stopped blinking. There's usually one light that will keep blinking.
• It usually takes about 30-60 seconds for a modem to finish turning on.

• Step - 4 : Log in to the modem's administrative screen.
• Open a web browser. In the address field, type the modem's IP address. It's often printed on the modem itself. If not, it will be in the modem's manual.
• Common modem IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1.

• Step - 5 : Enter your DSL account username and password.
