Check your Internet connection by launching a Web browser on the computer
connected to the SOMAport.
If your browser automatically opens to your service provider’s Web site, full
service has already been activated.

go to step 7.

Enter a valid Internet address (such as www.web.com) in the Address field and
press Enter.

the sign-up procedure that is provided on the Web site.
If you do not get an Internet connection, see “Finding problem causes” on
