	For Windows 2000/XP users, click the Select a connection using one of these available devices options, then select the TCP/
	IP option from the drop-down list. Click Next.

Connect to AOL

• USE MICROSOFT DIAL-UP NETWORKING FOR CSD

You may be using Windows Dial-up Networking feature to connect to your Internet service provider or to make a remote connection to your corporate network (including corporate e-mail server using Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes).

Rather than altering the existing configurations you use when dialing with your existing modem, consider creating a new connection exclusively for use with your Nokia phone (as detailed below).

Gather configuration information

You need the phone number for your Internet service provider or for your company remote access server. When testing the new connection, you also need your user name and password. You may also be required to enter additional configuration information such as a domain name or IP addresses for DNS servers. Your Internet service provider or corporate help desk should supply you with all the information you need.
