7.You are ready to make a connection with your ISP or remote server using multilinked channels. To use this new MLP connection, open the Dial-Up Networking folder and select the NDISWAN multiple linked channel entry from the phonebook entry list box. Click Dial.

8.Enter the user name and password for your ISP or remote server account and click OK. Your adapter will connect in seconds.

Note: If you have problems with the connection (such as the line being dropped or inability to access the Internet or your remote network), review the network settings with your ISP or network administrator. You also may want to test accessing the connection without using Multilinking.
