To set up a Dialup connection
you will need three pieces of information: your Dialup Username, the Dialup
Password, and the Dialup Local Number.
Dialup UsernameThe Dialup username is your primary email address. For example, if your primary email address is surfer@oregoncoast.com, then your Dialup username will be:surfer@oregoncoast.com. Dialup PasswordYour Dialup password will be the same password as for your WAVE primary email address. In the example above, the Dialup password would be the same as the one for the email address, surfer@oregoncoast.com Dialup Local NumbersThe phone number that your computer dials to connect to Dialup is as
follows: If you are dialing from an area that is not a local call, please check the Roaming Access Numbers list for a local number for your city and state. Connecting the ModemMost new computers come with an internal modem featuring a pair of phone jacks. One of these jacks should be labeled " Line" and the other "Phone". Quite often these labels are difficult to read, so you may wish to consult your system documentation to determine which is which. You will need to have a phoneline connecting your wall phone jack with the "Line" jack of your modem. If you wish, you can connect an ordinary phone into the "Phone" jack. This phone may be used in the normal way when you are not connected to the Internet. Never ever plug a cordless phone base in to the computer, however, as that is a transmitter and could cause problems with the chips and boards inside the computer case.Please do not route the phone line through a printer, splitter, or FAX machine, your connection will be horrible at best. The New Connection WizardWindows' Connection Wizard now handles much more than Internet Connections, so experienced users will notice a few more steps at the beginning of the process. NOTE: The Connection Wizard will not delete any old ISP settings you may have installed, but will add new dialers that will become the new "default" setting. In a perfect world this is what would happen, however, Windows sometimes caches settings, so it's possible the RAS won't be overwritten (Remove Access Services) and your old settings will remain with the new phone number. Best way is to completely remove the old dialup, restart the computer, THEN run the Connection Wizard. Starting the Internet Connection Wizard
