Internet Connection

[Robin]

I am trying to establish an Internet Connection

I follow the following steps:

Create a New Dial-Up Connection

1. To start the Network Connections tool, click Start,
click Control Panel, double-click Network Connections, and
then click Create a new connection in the left pane.

2. Click Set up my connection manually, click Next

I see the option for "Connect using a Dial Up modem", but I
am not able to select the option as if I have no modem.

I can look at devices and see my modem and Windows says
that it is working properly. I am able to dial out from my
computer with modem with no problem.

Why doesn't the New Connection Wizard see my modem?

I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Windows XP
Professional.

Please help.
