Your Multi-Tech modem is your gateway to the Internet and the World Wide Web. To access the Internet and 
Web via your modem, you must establish a dial-up account with an Internet service provider (ISP). To locate 
an ISP near you, look in a local directory or computer publication. Your ISP should provide you with the following 
information: 

• 

User name (also called user ID) 

• 

Password 

• 

Access number (the number you call to connect to the server) 

• 

Host name and/or domain name 

• 

Domain Name Server (DNS) server address 

If, besides the Web, you use the Internet for email and newsgroups, your ISP should also provide you with the 
following information: 

• 

Email or POP mail address 

• 

POP server address 

• 

Mail or SMTP address 

• 

News or NNT server address 

 

 

Before you can connect to the Internet, you must set up a remote-node client program on your computer. The 
Windows version is called Dial-Up Networking. Dial-Up Networking establishes your connection to the ISP’s 
server, which is the shared computer that manages calls from clients (your computer) to the Internet. Most, if not 
all, Windows browsers start Dial-up Networking automatically when you open them. 

For instructions on how to set up Dial-Up Networking, consult your ISP or your operating system’s online help or 
printed documentation. Many ISPs include with their service a program that will instruct and configure Dial-Up 
Networking automatically for you.
