I am trying to setup a dialup internet connection on a new Vista (Home
Basic) computer. With XP I could download the install software from Netscape
or Juno using another computer, put it on a Flash drive and then install
that on the new computer. Netscape and Juno don't support Vista. How can I
get this computer connected to the Internet via dialup?

TIA

Wayne

You might not need the software. Open Network and Sharing, choose Set up
Dialup Connection and set it up manually. If any tools are needed, you can
try moving the setup file to the Vista hard drive, right click on the file
and choose Run as Administrator.

I setup the dialup connection as you indicated and it makes the connection
just fine but the connection is always "local only" - I have no Internet
access? I even tried turning off the Firewall - no help. Any thoughts on
what can cause this?

Are you certain? Mine initial states "local" when dial-up is used. But
after the first attempt to connect to the Net, Local and Internet both
appear.

Verify that the correct entries have been made in the connectoid's
PROPERTIES, especially the DNS.

This only happens when using DHCP. found this KB -
