I have lost my dial up network connections. On the Network connection page I
now only have my Local Area Connection. My normal connection is with a dsl
line which works OK.

So I tried to create a dial up connection. When I go to Network Connections
\ New Connection Wizard\Connect to Internet\Manual config I can not select
"connect via modem" . The only option on the pop up screen is "Broadband
Always On" The other two (connect via modem) are grayed out and not
available to select.

I am using XP Pro and it is uptodate as of today.

In control panel I can see the modem and it self tests OK.

Any idea why I can not use my modem to create a network connection???

I found the answer on onther POST .

Telphoney Services was disabled. Changed to Automatic and all my old dialup
connections are now back.
