Setting Up a New Connection (Windows 2000)
Note
This section applies only to Windows 2000. Before you create a
new connection in Windows 2000, you must set up the modem
driver. See “Setting Up a New Modem Driver (Windows 2000)”
on page 34.
The following procedures create a new Dial-Up Networking Connection,
represented by an icon on your desktop.
You must create separate icons for packet data and asynchronous data, if
you want to use both types of connections for PPP data. “At a Glance” tables
in the procedures show the key settings that differ for packet and
asynchronous connections (for example, phone numbers).
Tip
Create a new connection for packet data first. Then, if you also
want an asynchronous connection for PPP data, copy your packet
data connection icon (right-click, copy), paste it (right-click,
paste), and rename it. Then change only the properties shown in
the “At a Glance” tables.
