Windows 2000 Making a Dial-up Connection

After we defined and configured the Dial-up connection, we are ready to make the connection:


(User name and password are displayed, because I have requested this in the properties,
allowing me to verify/modify. This is important, when loging on to Windows 2000 as
a different user, where Windows 2000 allows you to use this Dial-up connection, but puts in by default its OWN username !)

	It displayed the Dial-progress
	then the Verification of Username and password
	and then you are connected ! I prefer to place the Checkmark, so that I do not have to click on OK on future connections.
	The icon for the connection become colored and the icon in the taskbar displays the connection status
	Also the Windows "Networking and Dial-up Connections" shows the status (and if you have no icon in the taskbar to terminate the connection,click here again on the connection icon)
	When right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar, the option "Status" displays additional information
	tab: General - connection duration - connection Speed - amount of data transferred
	tab: Details display of some values of TCP/IP (more information can be listed by running "IPCONFIG" in a command-prompt window)
	The quickest method to terminate a connection : right-click on the icon in the Taskbar and select "Disconnect"
	A last confirmation window, then the connection is terminated.
