How to restore DUN facility
Hi folks,
Can anyone remind me how to recover/re-enable DUN (DialUp Networking). I need this on a computer I am selling to someone who does not yet have broadband, but although a 56K modem has been installed and is working, according to Device Manager, I can find no way of making a connection to use it. I have followed all the help procedures but nowhere am I offered the choice of dial-up. Network Connections, for example, only shows the LAN connection, whether this is plugged or unplugged. I have tried lopoking in Add/remove programs|Windows components but do not find it there. (It was on the system at one time before I was able to go broad.) Thanks for any help on this. Derek |

How to restore DUN facility
Been away from that problem for a while.
I saw a similar screen BUT the 'use dial-up' option was not there, just the broadband options. At some much earlier date, while I was using the system and moved from dial-up to broadband, and becoming very irritated by some things that insisted on trying to use the dial-up even though BB was connected, I somehow disabled the DUN. I *think* I did that just by deleting the old dial-up connections from Network Connections, but I might have done something else. The system is no longer physically with me.
