Abstract

A terminal apparatus setting method is provided, comprising the steps of connecting a terminal apparatus to a setting server which is provided for registering with one or more Internet service providers associated with the setting server. The terminal apparatus receives information regarding the one or more Internet service providers associated with the setting server from the setting server, and a desired one of the one or more Internet service providers associated with the setting server is selected. Selection information indicative of the selected Internet service provider is sent to the setting server. An input request regarding registration items required by the selected Internet service provider is received from the setting server. Registration information is in response to the required registration items in the input request and sending the registration information to the setting server. Setting information is finally received from the setting server for setting up the terminal apparatus necessary to utilize the selected Internet service provider.
