How do I setup my connection in Windows Vista?

Answer

Before setting up an Internet connection, ensure:
  • You have your modem properly installed and connected, either via an Ethernet network card or USB, to your computer.
  • There are no loose connections.
  • You have the Username and Password from your ISP before you start.

Here's how you setup your connection:
  1. Click Start -> Control Panel.

  2. Click on Network and Internet icon.

  3. Click on Network and Sharing Center icon.

  4. Click on Setup a connection or network on the left task pane.

  5. A new window will popup asking you to choose the connection option.  Click Connect to the Internet and click Next.

  6. Now click on Broadband (PPPoE) option.

  7. Do the following on this screen:
    • Enter the User name and Password your ISP gave you.
    • Type in a name for Connection name.  This name is to identify your internet connection.  (If you have multiple Internet connections, this is useful).
    • If you check the box which says "Allow other people to use this connection", Vista will allow all the users on the computer to access this connection.
  8. Click Connect.

  9. If you see the following window then you have successfully established a connection.

  10. If you have any issues then you should recheck:
    • User name and password.
    • Internet connection settings with your ISP.
