Dial-Up Networking

The software side of dial-up networks requires configuration within the OS to

include information provided by your ISP. The ISP provides a dial-up

telephone number or numbers, as well as your user name and initial

password. In addition, the ISP will tell you about any special configuration

options you need to specify in the software setup. The full configuration of

dial-up networking is beyond the scope of this book, but you should at least

know where to go to follow instructions from your ISP. Let’s take a look at

the Network and Sharing Center applet in Windows 7.

Configuring Dial-Up To start configuring a dial-up connection, open the

Network and Sharing Center applet and click Set up a new connection or

network (see Figure 21-10).
