Setting Up A Dial-Up Connection
This section describes the basic steps for setting up your dial-up connection. The
Connection Wizard guides you through the process of choosing an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) or setting up an existing account, and connecting to the
Internet.
To connect a telephone cable
1 Locate the Modem jack on your computer.
2 Plug one end of the telephone cable into the Modem jack. Make sure it clicks
into place.
3 Plug the other end into the wall jack.
Connecting a Telephone Cable
Your computer does not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated
telephone, and may not work with multiple telephone lines or a private branch
exchange (PBX). Some of these connections may result in excess electrical current
and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem.
If you connect a telephone cable coming through a splitter, the modem or connected
device may not work properly.
