Using Dial-up Networking

Creating a trusted pair between your smartphone 
and your computer

After you have turned on the correct settings for your smartphone and your computer, you need to 
pair the two devices before you can use DUN. You need to do this only once; after creating the 
trusted pair, you can use your smartphone as a modem any time it is within range of your 
computer.
