To configure this feature, first open the Internet Options dialog box by selecting Internet Options from the View menu. Select the Connection tab and check the Connect to the Internet using a Modem (or if this applies to your situation, the Access the Internet via a local area network) box. Choose Settings to select which service to dial, and to add your user name and password.
