This screen presents you with the main connection types. Each option that you choose will lead you to further options in a tree-like formation, adding more information with each step and narrowing down the parameters towards the desired network connection.

• Internet Connection
  Selecting this option will take you to the 'Internet Connection' screen (see figure 5.4). This section of the wizard will help you set up your Internet connection, in one of the various methods available.
