| Microsoft Windows Vista Dial Up Networking |
| This tutorial is designed to walk you through
how to configure a dialup connection using the Windows Vista
Operating System for use with the Digitalputty dialup services. |
| You should manually set the DNS server settings, however
DNS Server settings are normally handed to your computer upon completeing
a dialup connection with Digitalputty. The DNS server settings are provided
in the tutorial, however you may want to print out our Quik
Config support page as it contains all necessary DNS information and
more to get you configured properly and online now! Also, you want look
at a complete listing of our Statewide Dialup Numbers to get the correct
dialup phone number for your location. |
You must meet these minimum requirements before setting up a Windows Vista dialup connection:
A. The Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System
must be installed.
B. Your Dial Up Modem must already be installed and functional.
|
| BEGIN SETUP |
- Open the Start Menu and select "Connect
to."
- Select the option to "Set up a connection
or network."
- Select "Set up a dial-up connection"
and click "next."
- Enter your local access number in the field labeled "Dial-up
phone number." You can find your local access number
using our number finder tool. Enter your digitalputty user
name in the box labeled "User name" and your digitalputty
password in the box labeled "Password." Once you
have entered all that information, select the "Connect"
button.
- Windows will now attempt to use your new dialup connection
before saving your work. If you would like to interrupt
this process and save, click the button labeled
"Skip" below.
- If you skipped the initial connection attempt, or your
attempt to connect otherwise failed, you will be presented
with three options:
- Try Again. This will simply instruct your computer to
re-try the connection.
- Diagnose the problem. If you did not intentionally interrupt
the connection attempt, this may be a good option. Dialup
diagnostics are beyond the scope of this document./
- Set up the connection anyway. If you intentionally skipped
the test connection, this is probably the option you were
intending to use.
- Once your connection has been sucessfully created, you
will get the following screen. Select the "close"
button.
- To connect to the internet, click the Start Button,
select "Connect to," and then
select the connection that you just created.
