Begin by clicking on the Start button in the

This will open the Control Panel window. This
is where you make most changes on your system. The next step for
setting up your DSL is to click on the Network icon (pictured

Double click on the Icon labeled Network Connections.
This will bring up the window you see below. Double click on the
icon labeled New Connection Wizard.
The New Connection Wizard will walk you through

This will take us to the Getting Ready window.
You will see three choices there (as seen below). Please select
the middle one labeled Set up my connection manually and
then click Next.

Connection. You will want to select the first option, Connect
using a dial-up modem. Then click Next to continue.
This window is called Connection Name. Just
type in yourISPname "ComBase" as seen below and
click Next.
Now we should be in the Phone Number to Dial
screen you see below. Just type in the Local access number
for your area. Once this is completed, click Next.
Next is the Internet Account Information screen.
In this screen you will be adding in the Username and Password
provided to you when you signed up. Then type in your password
and make sure that the top two boxes below that are checked. Then
click Next.
This should be the last window, labeled Completing
the New Connection Wizard. In this window all you need to do
is review what it says and the check the box labeled Add a shortcut
to this connection to my desktop.
Click finish and we are done.
Congratulations! You are ready to use your Dialup.
