The Internet is based on local networks linked together to form a world wide network. In order to access it from your home computer, you must first establish a link to a local network.
The Windows XP operating system provides a way to establish a network connection which provides a link between your computer at home and the server at school. Once you have established this link you can then run your Internet software.
