What kind of connection are you wanting to use? Ethernet or a dial
up modem?

DUN is universally understood to mean Dialup Network.



True, but your original post mentioned only an Ethernet cable,
and
didn't specifiy the make/model of modem you have installed, so
Ricky's question was quite reasonable. Your post made it seem as if
you were unaware of what "DUN" meant.


That's silly. This was in my OP, second line.
I need to create a DUN. The methods I'm **used to** in W2K and W98 do
not

Not always true..if you're using an ethernet modem a DUN is not needed
the modem does the connecting. That's why I was asking about the
modem. If you're using a dial up modem I usually go to the control
panel..internet options..connections tab and make a connection there.


That was the point of my OP. Someone previously used an Ethenet
connection, as the cable was hardwired in the back. I don't use
broadband, so have no use for Ethenet.

But Control Panel has no DUN setup anywhere, not in any normal location.
I conclude the shop that built the machine for the guy set him up with
Ethernet, and screwed up in installing XP to never add Accessories, or a
complete Network function. To me this is a partial installation. It's
odd, as the guy was a real newbie, and Ethernet is more complex than a
simple dialup setup.

Anyway, it looks like I am not getting an answer as to how to create a
DUN when the capability does not already exist in Network.


If you're wanting to make a dialup connection go to internet
options..connections tab..click the add button and from there you can make a
dial up connection.



The modem model matters in details of modem properties, not in
creating a DUN


So there have been 2 replies that don't help in solving the problem,
just show people don't read the OP. And if someone does not know what
DUN stands
for, he should certainly learn about it.

I am trying to decide if I have to remove XP and replace with W2K,
where I have the CD, and these kind of replies don't help.
