Using Dial-Up Networking
Now that everything is configured, it's time to dial out. Click Start, point to Programs, and
click Accessories. Click Dial-Up Networking and double-click the new icon you created
under Dial-Up Networking. You should see the Connect To screen.
Fill in your user name and password and click Connect or press ENTER. After
connecting, you should receive a message stating "Status: Verifying user name and
password."
Some Remote Access Services (RAS) allow for callback. If you receive a prompt for
a callback number, then you can have the system call you back by entering your phone
number. RAS systems can also be set up for auto-callback without asking for a
number. In this case, the number is pre-defined at the server end. This is usually done
to protect the system from unauthorized people getting in.
Note: If you encounter any connection problems after setup is complete, you should
check our online services for updates to the *.INF file for your product. The latest INF
files can be obtained from our BBS, FTP site, CompuServe, and AOL. If you connect
correctly but find that you can not access the Internet or the network, depending on your
application, you should obtain/verify all your Server settings with your service provider.
