Internet Connection Wizard Problem

[Guest]

I recently reinstalled Windows XP Home on a friends computer, but when I went
to create their dialup connection to the internet, I couldn't.

I went into the 'Internet Connection Wizard'. Told it that I was connecting
directly to the internet. Then I told it I was going to set up the connection
manually. But whenever the option comes up to setup a dial-up or broadband
connection, the dial-up option is greyed out and unselectable.

In device manager, it shows my modem as being fine. It's installed with no
conflicts.

Any clues?
