I tried to hook up a dial up connection to a win XP. When I clicked dial up
to the internet, it only let me choose broadband. It showed dial up, but it I
couldn't click it. What do I do?

Be more specific? Your E-mail name implies that you are doing this from
a Vista box? What kind? What kind of XP box are you trying to connect to?
How?

Connecting to an XP box is not necessarily connecting to the Internet... ; }

Prove that you have connectivity. Hint: just making two modems handshake
is not sufficient for that... <eg>

What does the XP box show for however it is serving its modem?
What are the properties of the (dialup) connections? Etc.

BTW this question has more to do with either of the OS that you are trying
to connect than with IE. Cross-posting to a Networking NG for convenience.

When I go to setup a connection (in XP) , I click on connect to the internet
and then it shows like dial up, LAN, and broadband. Broadband is the only one
I can click on.
It has nothing to do with Vista.
