Windows XP Manual Setup
-
First, Click on your "Start" button. This should bring up a screen that looks similar
to the screenshot below, although there will be some variation in icons.
-
-
Now, look for the words "Control Panel" on your Start Menu. This will bring up a Control
Panel that should match the one shown below. When you've reached this screen, search for
the icon identified as "Network and Internet Connections". Click on "Network and Internet
Connections".
-
If you have the classic control panel view enabled, search for the icon identified as "Network
Connections". You'll notice the icons are in alphabetical order, so it usually comes right
after "Mouse." Double click on "Network Connections".
-
-
You should now see the screen shown below. Click on the words "Set up or Change your Internet Connection".
-
If you have the classic control panel view enabled, then this is what you will see when you
double click on "Network Connections". On this screen, find the words "Create a New Connection"
in the blue border of the left-hand side. Click on this.
-
-
You should now be at the "Internet Properties Screen". If you are not already at the tab that
says "Connections", please click on it. On this page, towards the top, you should see a button
that says "Setup". Please click on this button now. It will take you to the Internet Connection
Wizard.
-
If you have the classic control panel view enabled, you will not see this screen and can skip this step.
-
-
You should now be at a screen identified as "New Connection Wizard". Please make sure there is a
dot next to the option for "Set up my connection manually" as shown below. You may then click on
the "Next" button.
-
-
Make sure there is a dot next to the choice "Connect using a dial-up modem" then click the "Next" button at the bottom.
-
-
Type the name for the ISP you are dialing. In this case, Easton Connect. Click the "Next" button at the bottom.
-
-
Enter the phone number from the access list that is provided and make sure the number is a local
telephone call for your location. If you need to dial an area code with your local number, also enter
it in the box titled "Phone number". Note: (Easton Telecom Services is not responsible for long
distance charges.) Now click the "Next" button at the bottom.

-
If you wish to allow dial-up access for anyone's use, click as shown below, and then click the "Next" button.
-
-
Now fill in your username ("username@eastontelecom.com") and password as provided on your Easton
Connect Access Form. The username and password are case sensitive, so be sure to enter both in
lowercase characters. You'll notice a number of options below that you can decide whether or not
to check. Click "Next".
-
-
You're now at the "Final Wizard Screen". We suggest you place a check mark next to "Add a shortcut
to this connection to my desktop" so that you can always find your Easton Connect dial-up connection
quickly. Then click the "Finish" button.
-
-
This is what the shortcut should look like when it appears on your desktop.
-
-
Now you should be able to double click on your shortcut to Easton Connect, and bring up the following screen. To connect, click on "Dial".'
