Configuring Windows 2000 Dial-Up Networking

• Leave the area code blank. Put in the phone number for the computer you are dialing.
• For 10-digit dialing, put the area code in the phone number box (not the area code box).

Hint: Add 3 or 4 commas on the end for a more stable connection. Also If you are at work or in a hotel then you may need to dial 9 to get an outside line. In that case, place a 9,, in front of the phone number. Be sure to put one or two commas after the 9 so that the phone line will transfer before the modem starts dialing.You may also put a comma at the front of the number to force the modem to wait for a dialtone.
