Windows XP Define ADSL Internet Connection

Before defining an Internet Connection, you should verify that your ADSL modem is properly installed and connected, either via an Ethernet network card or USB.

To define a new connection, select from the
menu: Settings / Network Connections.

You can also select in the Control-Panel :

Network Connections
or (if you have the Classic Desktop):
right-click on "My Network Places" and
select "Properties"

If you have a Network card installed,
it will be shown on the right side as
a "Local Area Connection"

Select on the left side from the
"Network Tasks" to
"Create a new connection"

Note : to be able to create a new
connection, you must have proper
user permissions.

	Up comes the Wizard Next to Continue
	Select to "Connect to the Internet"
	You can "Choose from a list of Internet provides (ISPs)", but for that the system will dial out, I assume to connect to Microsoft to download the local, up-to-date list. You can try it if you like. I myself preferred to setup my connection manually.
	I am using a broadband connection via an ADSL modem, using PPPoE as connection method (which is different to a modem connection).
	Define the name of your ISP
	enter your Username and password, as it has been assigned to you by YOUR Internet Service Provider.
	Done. You can select to have on your desktop an icon for this connection.
	the windows for the Network connections shows now the new Dial-up connection.

Before making your first connection to the Internet, verify/configure the ADSL connection.
