Remote Access Configuration for Windows 2000

Make a New Connection

On this page, you will find screenshots and steps to configure Dialup Networking on a machine running Windows 2000.

Windows 2000 has now made a connection wizard for this task as well, and following it is simple.

Begin by clicking on the start menu, and go to Settings | Network and Dial-up Connections



This will open a folder similar to the Dialup Networking folder from Win95/98.



Double click Make New Connection to begin the Network Connection Wizard.

Click Next to continue.



Windows now asks what type of connection is being created. Select Dial-up to the Internet, then click Next to continue.



This opens a new wizard, the Internet Connection Wizard. Choose the third selection to open the connection manually, then click Next to continue.



On this screen, enter the phone number of the desired Point-of-Presence (POP). If you are unsure what POP you should be accessing, please proceed to our Access Numbers page.



Enter the User Name (which should be your account ID) and Password in the following fields.

Select Next to continue.



Now simply name the connection:



Select Next to continue.

The wizard then asks if you would like to setup a mail client. Choose No and then click Finish to end the wizard. The Network and Dial-up Connections folder should list an icon with your new configuration name. Double-click on it to begin dialing.



Windows 2000 configuration is now complete.
