Brooklyn College Dial-Up for Windows XP

In order to access your e-mail, you must first set up your computer with dial up networking.

Considerations beforehand:

• If you intend to access files off the Netware server or access the printers on campus from the dial-up locations, install Client for Netware Network and IPX/SPX protocol. If you just intend to access the Internet and e-mail, you do not need to install it.
• Be sure that your modem is installed properly.

To check that a modem is installed properly, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Phone and Modem Options.
