Select the first option to create a new dial-up connection and click Next to proceed.

The dialup access number

First, click on the telephone number field and type in the full ten digit dial-up access number for the city that you are currently local to. These are listed in a table below. Make sure you use the number that is local to you.

Although an area code field is provided, we recommend you not use it. Type the dial-up access number including the area code in the telephone number field. By doing it this way you reduce the risk of entering in the wrong area code and inadvertently incurring long distance charges.

The area code and country code fields will default to the values determined by your computer's dialing rules (they may be incorrect). Uncheck the box that says "Dial using the area code and country code" to ensure that these fields are ignored.

Click Next to continue.
