Installing Dial-Up Networking:

Dial-up Networking may or may not be installed on your machine. If it is not installed, this section will walk you through the installation. If it is already installed, this section will make no sense and you can skip this section.

Creating A Phonebook Entry:

After Dial-Up Networking is installed, you will need to add a LMi.net phonebook entry. This will tell the computer who it should dial when you want to connect to.

1. START -> PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES -> DIAL-UP NETWORKING
2. Click the NEW button.
3. Type LMi.net as the name of your new phonebook entry, then click NEXT.
4. Now, make sure only the following things are checked...
   I am Calling The Internet.

5. Make sure everything else is unchecked and press NEXT.
6. Enter the LMi.net number nearest you, then click NEXT.
7. Press FINISH
