Click Here for Step-by-Step Instructions with Graphics. (Be patient - the graphic pages may load slowly on a dialup connection.)

  • On your desktop, double-click the "My Computer" icon.
  • Double-click on the "Control Panel" icon.
  • Double-click on the "Dial-up Networking" icon.
  • Double-click on the "Make New Connection" icon.
  • In the box labled "Type a name for the computer you are dialing" type "Andiamo".
  • Most computers only have one modem, so leave the "Select a device" field alone and click NEXT.
  • Leave the area code field blank, and enter the Andiamo dialup number you will be using.
    • If you are in an area where you must enter an area code for a local number (in the Phoenix area, for example) put the area code and phone number in the "Telephone Number" field - do not use the area code field or your computer will try to dial a "1".
  • Click FINISH.
  • Right-click on the new "Andiamo" connection and select "Properties".
  • Clear the check mark next to "Use area code and Dialing Properties".
  • Click OK.
