To Create a Dial-Up Connection

1. Double-click the My Computer icon, and then double-click Dial-Up Networking.

   If you do not see a Dial-Up Networking folder in My Computer, then either dial-up networking software or a modem is not installed in the computer. If dial-up networking software is not installed, see "To Install Dial-Up Networking".

2. Double-click Make New Connection.

   The Make New Connection Wizard starts.

3. (Optional) Click Configure to customize the modem properties.

   Click one or more of the tabs and make any desired changes. For example, select the Options tab and choose to open a terminal window before or after dialing the number. You can use this window to enter modem AT commands or dynamic passwords.

4. Type a name for the dial-up connection.

5. Type the telephone number of the service provider, and then click Next.

6. Click Finish.

   The name of the new connection is listed in the Dial-Up Networking dialog box.
