In this project, you configure a dial-up connection in Windows Server 2003. You will need access to an account that has Administrator privileges. Also, ask your instructor for the name of an ISP and an access telephone number (or you can make one up for practice).

To configure dial-up networking in Windows Server 2003:

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Network Connections, and click New Connection Wizard.

2. Click Next after the New Connection Wizard starts.

3. Select Connect to the Internet and click Next.

4. Notice that there are options for: Connect using a dial-up modem, Connect using a broadband connection that requires a username and password, and Connect using a broadband connection that is always on. For this project, select Connect using a dialup modem and click Next.

5. Enter the name of the ISP provided by your instructor, or simply enter your initials plus “connection” to set up a practice connection. Click Next.

6. Enter the telephone number provided by your instructor, or provide a number for practice. Click Next.

7. Click Anyone’s use so that any server users can access this dial-up connection.

8. Enter the user/account name for the ISP connection and the password (or make these up for practice). Enter the password again to confirm it. Also, make sure that the following are checked:

? Use this account name and password when anyone connects to the Internet from this computer.

? Make this the default Internet connection.

? Turn on Internet Connection Firewall for this connection.

9. Click Next.

10. Review the parameters that you entered and click Finish.

11. Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Network Connections, right-click the connection you just created, and click Properties.

12. Click the Networking tab. Notice that PPP and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) are automatically configured for this connection. (See Figure 8-13.)

13. Close the Properties dialog box and then close the Network Connections window.
