Installing the Modem Driver on Windows

To install on Windows 2000 or newer:
1. Download the modem driver from http://www.multitech.com/support.go.
2. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on your computer. Windows should detect your
new modem and open the Welcome to the Found New Hardware wizard.
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may be turned off, or it may be plugged into the wrong
connector on your computer. See Troubleshooting.
3. From the Browse function in the Install Wizard, point to the Temporary folder you created on your local PC to
store the driver that you downloaded from the Multi-Tech website. Windows installs and configures the
modem.
4. Click Finish to exit.

Connecting to the Internet

To access the Internet and Web via your modem, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service
provider (ISP). Your ISP should provide you with the following information:
●
User name (also called user ID)
●
Password
●
Access number (the number you call to connect to the server)
●
Host name and/or domain name
●
Domain Name Server (DNS) server address
If you use the Internet for email and newsgroups, your ISP should also provide you with the following information:
●
Email or POP mail address
●
POP server address
●
Mail or SMTP address
●
News or NNT server address

Dial-Up Networking

Before you can connect to the Internet, you must set up a remote-node client program on your computer. The
Windows version is called Dial-Up Networking. Dial-Up Networking establishes your connection to the ISP's
server, which is the shared computer that manages calls from clients (your computer) to the Internet. Most, if not
all, Windows browsers start Dial-up Networking automatically when you open them.
For instructions on how to set up Dial-Up Networking, consult your ISP or your operating system's online help or
printed documentation. Many ISPs include with their service a program that will instruct and configure Dial-Up
Networking automatically for you.
