Appendix B

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 Dial-Up Networking icon will look something like one of the icons shown here.
