A broadband internet consumer can set up a fresh broadband internet connection within the operating system Windows Vista using a wizard, which walks him smoothly and quickly through the installation process.

As part of the installation process firstly the user is required to close any programme or file that is open. Then he can click Start followed with the Control Panel and subsequently the icon Network and Internet.

When clicked on the icon Network and Sharing Centre, an option comes located on the left side of the fresh dialogue box, which reads Set Up a Connection or Network.
