· In order to set up a Dialup network configuration
with any provider you will need to know:
1. The name of your Internet Service Provider.
2. Your login ID (also called user name, login name or screen name).
3. Your password
4. Your primary dial-up number
5. Your secondary dial-up number (if applicable)
· Always contact your phone company to verify if the numbers provided by your ISP are a local call. Calling plans in many areas are very confusing, and you may end up paying your telco several hundreds dollars at the end of the month. Dial 0 on your telephone and ask the operator whether the number you are going to use is a local call.
· We hate to remind, but always set your CAPS LOCK off before typing your password. In most cases passwords are case-sensitive.
· While we tried to make this tutorial as complete and straightforward as possible, it is a supplementary information and doesn't constitute professional customer support from your ISP. Keep your ISP's tecsupport phone number / e-mail address handy.
