To connect faster when using a modem, clear the Wait for dial tone before dialing check box.
To pay for calls with a credit card, in the Wait for credit card box, enter the number of seconds you
want the device to wait for a credit card prompt, and enter the credit card number in the Extra dial-
string modem commands box.
To save money when connecting, make sure the device does not stay online too long waiting to
connect to an ISP or private network. By default, your device will cancel the call if not connected
within two minutes. To increase or decrease this wait time, in the Cancel if not connected in box,
change the number of seconds.
Change network card settings
If you use your network card in two locations, such as work and home, you must also change the
network to which the network card connects.
Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters tab.

network, such as a corporate network at work, select Work. When connecting to your ISP at home,
select Internet.
Change server settings
You should not need to change these settings, unless your server doesn't use dynamically-assigned IP
addresses. Most ISPs and private networks use dynamically-assigned IP addresses.
Servers that require an assigned IP address may also require a way to map computer names to IP
addresses. Your device supports two name resolutions options: DNS and WINS.
Contact your ISP to determine which name resolution you need to use, obtain the specific server
address, and enter the information in the Server tab. Also, ask if alternate addresses are available. An
alternate address may enable you to connect when the primary server is unavailable.
