Residential Internet Support

For example, the address http://www.yale.edu/ provides the following information:
http This Web server uses the HttP protocol.
www This site is on the World Wide Web.
yale The Web server is at Yale University.
edu This is an educational institution.

Generally, commercial site addresses end with .com, and government site addresses end with .gov.

If the address points to a specific page, additional information-such as a port name, the directory in which the page is located, and the name of the page file-is included. Web pages authored by using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) often end with an .htm or .html extension.
 
 
To automatically complete Internet addresses:

In the Address bar, start typing the Internet address you want to go to.
If you've visited the Web site before, the AutoComplete feature suggests a match as you type.

For example, if you type microso, Internet Explorer guesses that you want to open the Microsoft Web site at http:\\www.microsoft.com.

After AutoComplete finds a match or you've finished typing the Web address, press ENTER.

Notes:  You can turn off the AutoComplete feature from the Options dialog box. Click the View menu, and then click Options. On the Advanced tab, under the Browsing options, clear the Use AutoComplete check box.
