8.4 Connecting to the Internet
Most Internet service providers provide the following
features:
A direct connection to the Internet
A remote World Wide Web Server
A remote Ftp Server
A remote E-Mail (SMTP) Server
NOTE: You must have direct access to the Internet for
Virtual Weather Station's automated features to work.
Connecting through a Service Provider such as America On
Line (AOL) will limit Virtual Weather Station's automated
features.

networking, select [Settings][Network Connection] from
the menubar. Reference Figure 44 - Networking

There are three primary ways to connect to the Internet:
Never Dial a Connection. Typically used for routers.
Use Default Connection. Connects using the defined
default connection to the Internet. Typically used for LAN
and Proxy servers.

Remote Access Service (RAS) utilities for Dial-up
Networking. Typically used for telephone, DSL or cable
modems.
