Choose "Install Harbornet ISP Service" and the program will take you through the steps to install the latest version of Internet Explorer or update your already installed version. After the install, your computer will need to be re-started, leaving the CD-ROM in the drive.

Next Step is to Set-up Your Account
After computer re-start, an installation confirmation window will appear, with a couple of options for connection set-up. Choose to Automatically Set-up (suggested) or Manually. If you choose to Automatically Set-up, the program will take you through the steps needed. A page will appear where you will need to enter your user name and password. The dial-up account is already configured within Internet Explorer. If you are changing Internet Service Providers, you will need to change Harbornet to your default dial-up.
