login to FireFly, and connect.
11. Within Windows NT, you can also set
a shortcut for your Dial-Up Networking program
icon, rather than referring to it within that
program box. To do this, refer to the
"Dial-Up Networking" program box,
and drag your program icon for your dialup

a a shortcut. Select "Yes", and it
will be defaulted with the name "Shortcut
to My Connection". You can rename this by
moving your mouse pointer over it, clicking on
your right mouse button, and selecting the
option to "Rename". You can then
double-click this shortcut icon to establish
your Internet connection in the future. |
