10.1 Microsoft Dial-Up Network

When the driver software has been successfully installed, you can use the Dial-Up Network to connect your computer to other computers or networks.

To do so, you will first need to have your server or provider provide you with the access parameters for the dial-up connection. The following example will show you how to establish a connection with a server using the Microsoft Dial-Up Network (or the Microsoft Remote Access Service, RAS).

Depending on your user privileges, you will be able to access the resources on the server (hard disk, printer, etc.). You can also use this connection to transfer data from one PC to another (PC-PC connection, file transfer).

Have the following information handy before setting up the Dial-Up Network connection:

-Access number des Servers/Providers

-User name on the server

-Password for this user name

-Information on the protocols and IP addresses used

1.When you have received your ISDN access number, user name, and password, create a new connection for the Windows Dial-Up Network.

Make a new connection using My Computer Dial-Up Network. Select one of the modems ISDN Line 0 or ISDN Line 1, and give the new connection a name of your choice (here: MyGroup).
