I have one dial up internet connection that I created immediately after XP
Home was installed. Since that time I have been having some trouble with
dropped connections, cannot find server message, etc.
Can I create another dial up connection to same ISP (I am using a small
local ISP) without messing up my computer as long as I give it a different
name? I do not want to create any other problems, but since there were so
many updates applied, including a modem update, I thought this would be a
good way to make sure the problem is not in some setting that was created
automatically when the connection was originally setup.
Also, I have noticed that the automatically detect settings box is not
checked for my connection. My ISP is not one of the ones that Windows
allows you to pick from when you set up the connection--so I selected
manually dial this connection and later switched to dial only if network
connection is not present. Can I try checking this box without creating
more problems, or is the automatic dialing only suppose to work for the
ISP's fully supported by XP's list?
