 Directions for connecting without VZAccess Manager

It's so simple. I love connecting this way, because it connects within a fraction of a second. IMO VZAccess Manager is way too bloated, especially if you're in a hurry and/or a power user.

Enjoy

IMPORTANT: Be sure to UNINSTALL VZAccess Manager before attempting this. Reboot after the uninstall completes.

BE SURE YOU HAVE THE VZACCESS MANAGER CD AND/OR DOWNLOADED VZACCESS MANAGER FILE AVAILABLE IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

These instructions are for Windows XP. I hate Vista, but the only information you really need is the phone number, which is #777 to complete Vista's process to create a dial-up connection. Be sure to leave the username and password fields blank. Everything else, you can use the defaults.

Start > Network connections > New connection wizard
or
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections > New connection wizard

1. Click "Connect to the Internet" , next
2. Click "Set up my connection manually" , next
3. Click "Connect using a dial-up modem" , next
4. Enter ISP name (Can be anything) , next
5. Enter #777 for the phone number , next
6. Leave username and password fields blank, and make sure that you uncheck the first box (Use this account name and password ...) , next
7. (optional) click add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop , finish

Double click on the shortcut you created. If it's not on the desktop, simply go to start > network connections , then click on the connection you just created.

Once the connect screen is up, delete anything that may be in the Username and/or Password field. It's not needed. Check the box marked "Save this username ..."

Click dial, and you're done

And yes, it's much faster.
