Click on the Dial-up connection radio button. Click Next.

Enter a name that you would like to call this connection, in the Company Name field, anything you like. Click Next.

Enter the phone number of the server you are trying to reach. Try to be specific, like the notes say country code if you need it. Are you in a 10 digit dialing area? ect.

 

Click Finish. You might want to check the Add a shortcut… box first though.

Now that your dial-up connection is created, you can dial your connection by either using the shortcut you created by going to Start and highlight All Programs. Scroll up to Accessories and scroll over to Communications and click on the Network Connections.

 

Double click the Really big Dam icon to start the connection to the dial up server.

Enter the User name and Password of the user that you gave Dial-In rights to on the server in the “Create a Dial-Up server in Windows XP PRO-home-MC.doc procedure”. Click Dial.
