Dial-up phone number:
Note: If you must enter 903 before the number (required for the 903 area), do so in the Phone number box. The area code is not necessary for the 936 area.
(See a list of dial-up numbers)
Type your Eastex Net username in the box beside:
User name:
Type your Eastex Net password in the box beside:
Password :
Note: To assure that you are typing the correct password, you can place a check in the box beside Show characters and the password will display in plain text.
Place a check in the box beside (so that you won’t have to type in your password each time you connect with your Dial-up connection):
Remember this password
Type a name that you prefer to call this connection (Examples: Eastex Net or Eastex Net Main, etc.) in the box beside:
Connection name:
If you have multiple users setup on your computer and you want this connection to be available for the other users when they login to the computer with their username,
place a check in the box beside allow other people to use this connection.
When all boxes have the correct information typed in, then click Create, and Windows Vista will test the new connection by dialing into the Eastex Net dial-up modems.
Once the testing is completed, you will have created a Dial-up connection to Eastex Net on your computer
which you can use to connect to the Eastex Net Dial-up modems for your Internet Access.
To use this connection, you can click Start, then click Control Panel (or, depending on your version of Vista - click Start, then click Settings, then click Control Panel),
then click Network and Sharing Center, then click Connect to a network and your newly created Eastex Net will be displayed there
(named with what you called this connection during creation). Click on that connection to select it and click Connect..
