<h1>SDF Dial-up via <i>Network Connections Wizard</i> on Windows XP</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Introduction:</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although many modems, especially internal WinModems, come with configuration
|
|
software, using the native <i>Network Connections Setup Wizard</i> to configure a
|
|
dial-up network connection is fairly straightforward and consistent irregardless
|
|
of the modem hardware. This tutorial illustrates the steps needed for an SDF Dial-up
|
|
account.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Prerequisites:</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Verify that the modem is installed correctly and that any
|
|
required modem driver(s) are also installed. If needed, click
|
|
on <i>Settings>Control Panel>System</i> , then select <i>Hardware>Device
|
|
Manager</i> and locate <i>Modems>your_modem</i>. Click <i>Action>Properties</i>; your
|
|
modem's multi-tab Properties window will appear. If all is well the
|
|
Device Status (under the General tab) box will read "This device is
|
|
working properly". If it is not, consult your modem documentation
|
|
to understand why. You may need to tweak your modem's settings using
|
|
other tabs on the Modem Properties window.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Basic Setup:</h2>
|
|
<p>Click <i>Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network Connections>New Connection Wizard</i>.
|
|
The "Welcome to the New Connection Wizard" window will appear. Click <i>Next</i>. The
|
|
following illustrates the SDF Dial-up connection creation process for fictional

Windows XP:
