Connecting to your Internet Provider
When your modem was installed, based upon the selections you made for your ISP or
DSL provider, the proper software for the operation of your modem was set up.
Normally, you require nothing further in order to connect to their service. If there are
further requirements, they are covered in documentation provided by your Internet
Service Provider(ISP).
Microsoft Dial-up Networking
The following information only applies if your modem was installed in such a way as
to use Microsoft Windows Dial-up Networking to connect to your ISP. Some providers
use Dial-up Networking to connect to their service, but don't require that your modem
be using it. (This is normally the case if the provider is using PPP over Ethernet
(PPPoE)). If your connection is set up in such a way as to require that your connect by
Dial-Up Networking, you may find that you need to modify the existing connection or
create another one. If so, follow these instructions.
The codes and settings necessary to set up the Dial-up connection should be in the
material supplied by your ISP.
