Set Up Dial-up Connections |
||
If you are still using a dial-up connection to reach the Internet, follow these steps…
- From the Internet section of WinTOTAL Configuration Utility, click Trusted Sites to ensure that WinTOTAL can connect to all pertinent a la mode servers.
- Then, click Internet Setup.
- Select the Modem and phone line option and click Next.
- The wizard scans your system and displays any Dial-Up Network connections you have configured on your system. If none are found, a message appears notifying you that you need to setup your Dial-Up Network connection(s). In this case, you must first configure a dial-up connection in your Windows operating system. Consult the Windows user guide for assistance with this process.
- Select the desired dial-up connection from the list and click
Next.
- Now, select the option to “test drive” your connection and click
Next. The setup wizard attempts to activate your modem and
make a connection with the Internet.
- If all goes well, the wizard informs you that it has, so click Finish to complete the configuration.
- If the wizard encounters a problem connecting, it notifies you and gives you the option of making another attempt or exiting the wizard. If you think there was a mistake, try the connection again by selecting the first option, then clicking Next. Otherwise, choose the second option and click Finish.
At this point, if you are unable to connect you need to troubleshoot your Internet connection from your PC. The first thing you should check is whether you can access the Internet from another application. Launch your web browser and try to access a popular site like www.google.com or www.yahoo.com.
- If you’re not able to access either of these sites, chances are there’s a problem either with your connection or with traffic through the Internet itself.
- If you’ve confirmed your connection to the Internet is working, repeat steps 1-5 above to configure your connection.
