You're obviously not new so you must have another reason for asking. But I'd say internet security is priority. Teach them about Nortons or whatever they have. Especially the anti-virus program. Download ccleaner for them. Download Adaware for them. Show them how they work. Teach them to never click on links from people or sites they don't know. My dad was a "newbie" two years ago and had his paypal account hacked. Tell them to neverrrr give out any info. That's a good start.

The internet is a great place, and to answer your question I belive it is your best interest to understand what the internet really "is"\n\nThe internet is simply a grouping of computers all over the world that are networked together. For you to understand this, I will give you the following example,\n\nInside the address bar on internet explorer, if you were to type the following...\nc:&#92;\nyou would be accessing and displaying your "c" hardrive. This drive is where (more then likely) all of the files are being stored. so if you wanted to open up notepad, you could type somthing like this....\nc:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;calc.exe\nyou would be accessing windows calculator and opening it.\n\nWhen you open up yahoo.com, you are really opening up yahoo's computer and accessing the spesified file. \n\nYahoo.com is really a shortcut to 66.218.71.63  (yahoo's servers ip address). this is called a dns. a dns helps humans remember websites, because yahoo.com is much better then remembering 66.218.71.63....\n\n\nNow with this information you it really depends on what you want to do, and what this website is for...\n\nIf it is for a personal website, and you dont want to spend any money, then my recomendation would be to sign up for a free web hosting service. I have had great luck with angelfire.com\n\nthis method is great for little websites,... you will end up with a website that's address will probobly end up like...\nangelfire.com/ma2/myphotos\n\nwhich is long, unperfeshonal, and very hard to remember.\nWhat I would do at this point is set up a dot.tk account (http://www.dot.tk )\n\n.tk is a hosing service that will route your long address to a much shorter address that you can pick out... it will look somthing like this...\nwww.myphotos.tk\n\n\nand then you will be set,... then simply upload your "website" files to your angelfire account (webshell)\n\n\n\nOR\n\nif you need this for bussiness or you dont mind paying for your service, then I recomend the following...\n\nuse a web hosting service like yahoo.com or godaddy.com\n\nThen after you reserve your dns name (for a year will cost ya about 15$) you will need to pay permonth for file hosting (about 10$ a month)\n\n\nor you can host the website from your home (which depends very much on your internet up/down speeds and you will need to ask a technical friend for setting up your server)\n\n\n\nhope this helps

Buy a cheap wireless router, you should be able to get one for around $40 or less.  They all come with a CD and instructions.  Usually the first thing you do is put in the CD, and follow along.  It will tell you how to hook up your computers and your internet depending on what kind of connection you have.  Also you need to buy wireless network adapters.  Do not purchase the internal ones, if you want the process to be easy.  They sell usb wireless NIC's for a little more money, but they also include detailed instructions for setting them up.

Depends on if this is an always on connection or a log-in connection.\n \nEither way try this, open Internet Explorer and Look at your options at the top, choose Tools.\nThen select Internet Options.\nIn the small pop-up window click the Connections Tab.\nThen select the Set-up button.\nThis will start the New Connections Window.\nSelect Next.\nThen select the Connect to Internet option.\nFollow the propmts for your type of connection.\n\nIf it is a always on connection it is the easiest option.\nThe others take the type of configuration needed by your Internet Provider. Add the information they provided you with (Log-in and password etc.)  to the appropriate areas and you now should be able to get on the internet.

The Internet is revolutionizing and enhancing the way we as humans communicate, both locally and around the globe. Simply put, the Internet is a network of linked computers allowing participants to share information on those computers. You should want to be a part of it because the Internet literally puts a world of information and a potential worldwide audience at your fingertips.\n\n Internet History: The Internet's roots can be traced to the 1950s with the launch of Sputnik, the ensuing space race, the Cold War and the development of ARPAnet (Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), but it really took off in the 1980s when the National Science Foundation used ARPAnet to link its five regional supercomputer centers. From there evolved a high-speed backbone of Internet access for many other types of networks, universities, institutions, bulletin board systems and commercial online services. The end of the decade saw the emergence of the World Wide Web, which heralded a platform-independent means of communication enhanced with a pleasant and relatively easy-to-use graphical interface. Here is a link to an excellent Internet timeline at PBS Online.\n\n Internet Activity: The information superhighway is literally buzzing with activity as Internet pipelines pump out all manner of files, movies, sounds, programs, video, e-mail, live chat, you name it. Yet amid all this activity there are always two key players in every transaction: a server and a client.\n\nServers are computers with a 24-hour Internet connection that provide access to their files and programs. These can be but are not limited to educational institutions, commercial companies, organizations, government or military organizations, Internet access providers and various other computer networks of all sizes. \n\nClients are software programs (and the people on remote computers using the software!) used to access files on a server (typically, a Web browsing program such as Netscape Navigator or an e-mail program such as Eudora). \nServers are typically located and organized by IP address and domain.\n\nAn IP address (IP stands for Internet Protocol) is a specific set of numbers referring to a server's exact location on a network. Most domains have their own IP address, for instance, 192.41.20.33 is the IP address of my server at webcurrent.com. You can type those numbers in to get there, but the domain is easier to remember. An IP address also leaves your fingerprints wherever you "surf" on the net. Each modem connection typically is designated a specific IP address at Internet providers (this number typically changes dynamically as users log in), so you never really surf the net anonymously. You can be traced to a point. \nA domain is part of the server's official name on the network, an alias for the less descriptive IP numbers. Domains are organized by type of organization (a three-letter suffix) and by country (a two-letter suffix which defaults to the U.S. if no suffix is specified). You can tell a lot about a server by looking at its domain name. \nHere are some typical organizational suffixes: com=commercial, edu=educational, gov=government, int=international, mil=military, net=network, org=organization. \nHere are some country codes: au=Australia, at=Austria, be=Belgium, br=-Brazil, dk=Denmark, jp=Japan, nz=New Zealand, ru=Russian Federation, uk=United Kingdom, ch=Switzerland. \n\nPrivacy. Don't post or write anything you wouldn't mind anyone else seeing. Remember your information is not secure nor is your e-mail necessarily private. It's supposed to be, but that isn't always the case. Also, never EVER send your credit card number via email. If you're ordering something online, be sure the web page you are entering data into is served from a secure server (https://... more on this in the next section). Helpful links: \n\nSecurity. To enhance security, many networks have encrypted, secure transmission met

Sign up with just about any Internet Service Provider (ISP). I'd recommend 1and1 Internet. Just about all of them have a simple site builder you can use, where you can select a page template that you simply fill in.\n\nIf you want to make more sophisticated site, 1and1 (and others) also offer more powerful tools like NetObjects Fusion, which allow you to make pretty cool sites without knowing anything about HTML.

Well, first u need a PC.\n\nhahahaha.\n\nThen of course, you have to select between 2 basic types of internet connection:\n> Broadband\n> Dial - up.\n\nFor a broadband, u need at least 256MB RAM, and a LAN Card. The cable is insrted into the LAN Card, so basically, if you have two computers, only one can have broadband unless you have a router. The speed of the internet is up to you, 256Kbps is not bad, but if u r an online gamer, I suggest 1000kbps.\n\nThe Dial - up connection requires a Modem Card, something almost all PCs have. U connect the phone line into this card, and you will probably get around on 28 - 56kbps. Not good for gaming, but considerable for reading Emails. Also, you need at least 256MB of RAM.\n\nI hope I answered your question.

The Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP). It is made up of thousands of smaller commercial, academic, domestic, and government networks. It carries various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs, and is accessible using the Internet.
