TreeWalk DNS and Windows XP Dial-up Instructions

## Make sure you have ALL the information required
to connect to your ISP before you begin! ##

Setting up TreeWalk on XP is generally done for you
automatically, but if you find that you want to make
a new dial-up connection anyway, we've provided this
text to assist you.

You can access the "Network Connections" icon in the
Control Panel applet to delete your old connection
and to make another if you don't have access through
your "Start" menu as shown next. (If you have any
trouble doing this, just press the "F1" function
key on your keyboard and enter "Disable a network
component", without the quotation marks, into Windows
Help and look for a "Network Connections" link.)

Okay, now you've deleted your old connection icon
inside "Network Connections". We'll use another way
to begin recreating it, if you're not comfortable
working within the Control Panel (as depicted above).
Beginning at the "Start" menu button, select these
items in the same order: Start > Connect To > Show
all connections. (As you might notice, you may be
able to gain access to the Control Panel this way
too.)

You should now be at the "Network Connections" folder.
Select "Create a new connection".

That should open the "New Connection Wizard" for you.
Click "Next".

At "Network Connection Type", select "Connect to the
Internet" and click "Next".

At the "Getting Ready" screen, select "Setup my
connection manually" and click "Next".

For the "Internet Connection" sheet, select "Connect
using a dial-up modem" and click "Next".

At "Connection Name", enter an appropriate name under
"ISP Name" and click "Next".

At "Phone Number to Dial", enter the dial-in access
number your ISP requires you to use and click "Next".

At "Internet Account Information", enter your user
name and password exactly as required. Review the
two check-box options and click "Next".

At "Completing the New Connection Wizard", you might
want to ensure there's a checkmark in the box for "Add
a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" and click
"Finish".

That's all there is to it! Happy surfing!
