enable dun

[Anne]

I want to add a back-up modem to my computer. The device
is installed with current driver. When I click to network
connections and use the wizard, setting up any other type
of network connection other than DSL (what I use now) is
impossible, all options are grayed-out. It seems that DUN
is not available to me. How do I enable this?

Have you tried turning off our DSL modem. Shut your system down, turn off
the DSL Modem which usually means disconnect it from the power supply, you
may also have to disconnect whatever cable you are using to connect it to
your computer. Then boot the system set up your DUN connection, shut down
and reconnect your DSL modem.

When you shut down the DSL modem, you may see an error to the effect a
device connected to the network is disconnected, don't worry about that, it
should go away after you reconnect the DSL modem.
