Modem, Internet and Network

4. Once you have connected the cable to both the computer and the wall phone

outlet, you are finished installing the modem physically. Now you can configure the

modem on your computer. Your computer offers Internet access through the Win-

dows Dial-Up Networking to your ISP. The following sections explain how this works

in detail.

Setting Up the Dial-Up Networking

Before you can navigate the Internet in Windows, you must set up a new Dial-Up

connection. A Wizard will guide you step-by-step through this process. Please have

your ISP's access details ready at this point. The ISP number is quite long. Your

ISP gave you the access details when you signed up. Of course, you can also use

the Dial-Up Networking for a call-by-call access. Technically speaking, this makes

no difference. Once you have all the necessary information ready, you can start

configuring the Dial-Up Networking.

1. First start the New Connection Wizard. To do so, click Start/All Programs/

Accessories/Communications/New Connection Wizard.

2. Windows prompts you for some information about your location. Select your

country under Country/Region. Underneath, you must type your area or city code.

This is important for Windows to know if the prefix has to be dialed or not when

establishing a connection.
