Windows XP Dial-upMake sure you have ALL the information required to connect to your ISP before you begin! The start page for this topic is Dial-up Instructions. While installing TreeWalk for your Windows XP®™ Dial-up Internet Connection, you will be presented with a message that says you might need to create a new dial-up connection if you find that you cannot connect to the Internet. Although it is very unlikely that this should occur, we have prepared this page in response to those who may experience difficulty with this procedure if it is required. Click the "Okay" button and proceed with the installation requirements. After the necessary reboot, test your Dial-up Internet Connection. If you have determined that you need to recreate it and you have copied all of the required information needed to connect to your ISP, delete your current dial-up connection and follow the steps below to make another. You can access the "Network Connections" icon in the Control Panel applet to delete your old connection and to make another if you don't have access through your "Start" menu as shown next. (If you have any trouble doing this, just press the "F1" function key on your keyboard and enter "Disable a network component", without the quotation marks, into Windows Help and look for a "Network Connections" link.) Okay, now you've deleted your old connection icon inside "Network Connections". We'll use another way to begin recreating it, if you're not comfortable working within the Control Panel (as depicted above). Beginning at the "Start" menu button, select these items in the same order: Start > Connect To > Show all connections. (As you might notice, you may be able to gain access to the Control Panel this way too.) You should now be at the "Network Connections" folder. Select "Create a new connection". That should open the "New Connection Wizard" for you. Click "Next". At "Network Connection Type", select "Connect to the Internet" and click "Next". At the "Getting Ready" screen, select "Setup my connection manually" and click "Next". For the "Internet Connection" sheet, select "Connect using a dial-up modem" and click "Next". At "Connection Name", enter an appropriate name under "ISP Name" and click "Next". At "Phone Number to Dial", enter the dial-in access number your ISP requires you to use and click "Next". At "Internet Account Information", enter your user name and password exactly as required. Review the two check-box options and click "Next". At "Completing the New Connection Wizard", you might want to ensure there's a checkmark in the box for "Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" and click "Finish". That's all there is to it! Happy surfing! |
