Step 1: Set up the Connection Icon

1. Open up My Computer from the Desktop and double-click the Dial-Up Networking icon. (If there is no Dial-Up Networking icon you will need to install the Dial-Up software from your Windows 98 CD.)
2. Double-click the Make New Connection icon. This will start the Make New Connection Wizard.
3. Type in "UMM 2 Hour PPP Line". If your modem is properly set up it will appear in the "Select a device".
4. Click the Next button in the Make New Connection Wizard. Enter 589-4526 for the phone number. Ignore the area code.
5. Click the Next button in the Make New Connection Wizard. Enter "UMM 2 Hour PPP Line" and click the Finish button.

You have now created an icon for the UMM 2 Hour PPP line.

Step 2: Set the Dial-Up Properties

1. Single-click the newly created connection icon, then right-click on the icon to bring up a pop-up menu and click Properties.
2. Press the Server Types tab. Make sure Type of Dial-Up Server is set as "PPP, Internet, Windows ...". Log on to network should not be checked.
3. Click on the TCP/IP Settings... button. Click on "Specify name server addresses". For the Primary DNS, enter 146.57.57.57, for the Secondary DNS enter 128.101.101.101 Click OK.
4. Click OK on the properties window.

Step 3: Dial in and Get Connected

1. Double-click the UMM 2 Hour PPP Line icon. This will open the Connect To dialog. Enter your username like yourusername@cda into the username field and then enter your password into the password field. Click on Save Password if you wish. Click Connect.
2. You should hear the modem begin dialing and then connecting with the server. After a few moments the connection should be established.

Your connection should now be established and you will be able to use your internet applications. When first starting a browser it may ask what dial-up icon to use. Tell it to use UMM 2 Hour PPP Line. Once choosen, each time you start your browser it will begin the connection to the selected icon if you are not connected to the internet already.
