Set-up A Dial-up Connection

 

Open up "My Computer", then open "Dial-Up Networking".

Then open "Make New Connection".

Open up "Make New Connection". Type in any name you want for the Connection Name (we recommend "Colorado Internet"), select your Modem, and click "Next."

Type in the Telephone Number that you will be utilizing (970-513-3380), and then click "Next."  At the next screen, click "Finish."

 

 

 

Right mouse click on your new "Colorado Internet" connection and click on "Properties."

Make sure the "Use country and area code" box is unchecked.

Next, select the "Server Types" tab and make it look like the example above by selecting and deselecting the appropriate boxes.

Lastly, click on the "TCP/IP Settings" box and make sure it looks like the above example.  Then click "OK."

In order to streamline the dial-up process, we recommend that you copy the "Colorado Internet" connection icon to your Desktop.  You can do this by holding the left mouse button down over the icon and dragging it from the Dial-up Networking folder directly to the Desktop.  Now, close the Dial-up Networking folder, and you're ready to connect to the Internet.

In order to connect to the Internet, double-click on the "Colorado Internet" icon.  The first time you do this you will need to enter your "Username" and "Password."  Your Username was assigned to you by ColoradoInternet when you signed up for service (coiXXXX@________), and is different from the email address(es) that you will use.  Your Password was chosen by you at that time.  After you have entered these items, you might want to click on "Save Password" so you don't have to enter it each time you connect to the Internet.  When finished, click "Connect."
