· 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.

Windows XP DUN setup
There are several approaches that you can use to setup DUN with Windows XP. Here's the simpliest one, to our opinion.

Click the Start button, then click Run and type in inetwiz and click Ok.

New Connection Wisard will appear.

Click Next.

Select Connect to the Internet.

Click the Next button.

Select Set up my connection manually.

Click Next.

Select Connect using a dial-up modem.

Click Next.

If you have more than one modem in your computer, select the modem you will use, click the checkbox next to it.

Click Next.

Enter your ISP name here.

Click Next.

Enter the Phone Number of the local access number you will be dialing into. Click next...

If you're not sure of your local access number, get one from your ISP. Be sure to check with your local telephone company to make sure the number you are dialing is local and free of additional charges.

We recommend you to leave the 3 checkboxes checked (on) or turn them on if they are not checked.
You might want to check the "Add a shortcut..."checkbox to create a shortcut to your new connection on your Desktop.

Click Finish. Done!
