I have a computer that is not networked, but does have dsl internet access.

In attempting to create a new networking connection, I ran into a problem.
My attemp is to use dial-up to connect to my server at the office.


Under 'new networking connections' I select "connect to the network at my
workplace"
when I select next, the options for dial-up and VPN are greyed, and I cannot
continue.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
jo

There is a modem in the computer, right?

There are commonly known causes for your symptoms.
