Connecting using Dial-Up Networking
When your modem was installed, the proper software for the
operation of your modem with your service provider should have
been set up. If you experienced difficulty and don’t see the dial-up
icon on your desktop, you may have to complete the following
procedure.
Creating a Dial-up Connection
The screens you see may vary slightly from those shown here,
depending on your operating system, but you should be able to
follow this procedure successfully.
First, open Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Networking. This
can be done through the Start menu, by selecting the
appropriate path:
•
In Windows 95/98: Start > Programs > Accessories >
Communications > Dial-Up Networking
•
In Windows Millennium: Start > Settings > Dial-up
Networking
•
In Windows 2000 Professional: Start > Settings >
Networking and Dial-Up Connections.
(In Windows 2000, skip the next paragraph’s instructions and
proceed directly to click the icon Make New Connection, as
covered in the following paragraph.)
•
In Windows NT: Start > Programs > Accessories > Dial-
Up Networking
In Windows 95/98/Me and NT, the
