- A new icon will appear in the Dial Up Networking Window. Right-click
on the new icon and click on Properties
- The next screen will display the general properties of the dialer.
Verify that the phone number is correct. Also note that if you are within
local calling distance of your service provider, make sure that you are not
dialing the country code or area code. The box with “Use area code and Dialing Properties”
should not be selected.
- Select
the "Server Types" tab and you should have only the
following boxes checked: "Enable software compression"
and "TCP/IP". None of the other boxes are required to be
checked.
- Click OK to close the window.
- Double
click on the icon you just created to open it. If your dialup plan is
the 150 hour plan after
your username you will need to add @entnix.com, i.e. username@entnix.com.
Or if your dialup plan is the unlimited plan after
your username you will need to add @isponly.net, i.e. username@isponly.net. This is necessary to route the authentication request to the correct
server. Your connection will not work without the realm after your username. Also you can enter your password and
select save password to not have to enter the password every time you start
your dial-up connection.
- If you want to place a shortcut on the desktop, you can simply
right-click on the new connection that has been created, and click on Create
Shortcut. You will get a message that says "Windows cannot create a
shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?
.... Click Yes
