How To Set Up a Dial Up Connection in Windows 95/98/ME
NOTE: You may need
your Windows9x/ME CD-ROM for this unless the .CAB files are installed on your
Hard Disk. (This
is in the event that Dial Up Networking is not already installed on your
system. This is not covered below as windows will simply prompt you through
that installation and then continue with the set up wizard)
1. Click on
"Start" and then "Run"

If you don't wish to use
Outlook Express as your email client, click "No," and then click
"Next" and then "Finish." You are done.

Outlook Express up to check an @linkd.net email address and thus, the settings
will be exactly as shown in Figure 10. The server names for both @linkd.net and
@symphonytel.com addresses are printed below:
For @linkd.net addresses:
Incoming mail (POP3) server: pop.linkd.net
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.linkd.net
For @symphonytel.com
addresses:
Incoming mail (POP3) server: pop.symphonytel.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.symphonytel.com
Click "Next"
after entering the server names in Figure 10.
