Completing your connection in PPP Mode

In PPP Mode, you need to complete the installation process on each PC you want to have access to the service you have purchased. To do this, you need to add some information which you received from your service provider to the 3Com Broadband Dialer application. First, access the Broadband Dialer by clicking:

Start->Programs->Dual Link Modem->Dialer

The Broadband Dialer window will appear. During the installation process, an icon named "ISP" was created and placed in the Dialer Profiles dialog box, as shown.

To dial the connection, double-click on the ISP icon.

The first time that you attempt to connect, you will complete the installation process by entering the username and password provided by your service provider in the boxes given. (This is done on each PC that you will be using to access the service.)

Click Next to complete the setup.

Once you have entered the username and password, you will be able to click on the ISP icon to immediately access the Internet.

You will also notice that a small icon has been added to the right-hand side of your Start bar at the bottom of your screen.

 

You can right click on it to pull up a menu that allows you to control your Internet connection.

Clicking on Connection Details gives you information on the current status of your connection.

To disconnect, right click on the tray icon and click on Disconnect. The following screen is displayed, allowing you to reconnect immediately if you wish.

Even though the Broadband Dialer can be installed on several PCs, only one at a time can use the modem to connect to the same Internet connection. You will have to hang up the connection from one PC before attempting to make the connection from another PC.

The ISP Profile icon can be moved from the Dialer window to your Windows Desktop. To do this, grab the icon using a left-click and then drag it to the Desktop.
