Dial-Up Connection

A dial-up modem is the most common way to connect to the Internet. Your modem uses a method called Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to connect to an ISP.

Make sure your modem is plugged into a phone line and you have the information from your ISP available (see page 71).

To set up Network preferences for the internal modem port:

1Choose Apple (K) > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2Click Network.

3Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu and select the On checkbox next to Internal Modem.

4Drag Internal Modem to the top of the Port Configurations list to make it the preferred, or primary, network interface.
