In Windows ME the internet connection wizard is accessed through the "Dial-Up Networking"
option in the Windows control panel (there is no such option as "Internet Connection").
Go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DIAL-UP NETWORKING and click on the "Make
New Connection" icon.
Alternatively, use the "Internet Connection Wizard" option in Internet Explorer 6
to sign up online for a new Internet account:
1. Double-click on the following file to open the wizard -
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard\icwconn1.exe"
2. Select "I want to sign up for a new Internet account", then
click "Next".
3. A dialogue will pop up (if applicable) stating that you already
have an Internet connection, and asking if you want to continue.
Click "Yes".
4. Insert the Area Code and Number of your telephone line, and your
Country (or check them if the wizard has already inserted them),
then click "Next".
5. Wait, while the computer dials a freefone telephone number
and downloads details of all available Dial-up and Broadband
internet packages for your Country.
NB: Your modem must be installed, and connected to your phone
line. In the UK, the number dialled is 0800 0151135.
6. Review the downloaded details, and select a package. Then click
"Next".
7. Complete your personal details and click "Next".
In this way, a Dial-Up service can be subscribed to on a
"Pay As You Go" package EVEN if you don't have a startup CD from an
ISP.
