All web browsers work basically the same.
This page will explain how to navigate the web with Netscape, however the same ideas apply for Internet Explorer or other browsers. When you connect your computer to the Internet, you are able to access files on any of these computers. Click once in the Location window at the top of the browser window. Clear out what's there by highlighting the current URL and then pressing delete. Another way to navigate is to click on the File menu, drag down to Open Location, and type the Net address in the box that appears.
