Can't create dialup connection

[Robert S]

I've just installed XP Home on a small home broadband network. I'm wanting
to use my modem at certain times.

When I try to create a new dialup connection using Network Connections ->
Create a new Connection -> Connect to the Internet -> Set up my connection
manually, the first two options (Connect using dial-up modem and Connect to
a broadband connection that requires a user name and password) are greyed
out.

If I go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Add, I get an
Error 711. After looking up Error 711, I tried to enable the Remote Access
Connection Manager under Services, I get Error 5, Access Denied (even though
I'm logged in as an Administrator).

I'm using a NetComm internal modem, using the XP Lucent Winmodem driver
(I've also tried the Netcomm driver - no difference). The modem diagnostics
work OK.

Can anybody help?
