Cannot launch Dial-Up Networking

If you cannot launch Dial-Up Networking, it may be because you have both an Ethernet card and a modem installed on your system. To get Dial-Up Networking to work, you'll have to disable your computer's network adapter.

Follow these steps to disable the network adapter:

1. Click the Windows Start button and choose Settings>Control Panel from the menus that pop up.

2. Double-click on the System icon.

   A dialog box pops up displaying your computer's current system settings.

3. Click on the Device Manager tab.

4. Locate the Ethernet Network Adapter in the list that appears and double-click on it.

5. In the Device Usage dialog box, select Disable in this hardware profile checkbox.

6. Click OK.

   You should now be able to use Dial-Up Networking.

Warning: When your Ethernet Network Adapter is disabled, you will not have access to your computer network. To access your network again, follow the above steps, but deselect (uncheck) the Disable in this hardware profile checkbox in step 5.
