- Step 5 - Checking Your Dial Up Numbers -
1.) To test your CVC Internet dialer for correct configurations, double-click on one of your CVC Internet icons (on your desktop). This will open a Connect To window. In this window, make sure your CVC Internet username and password are in the username and password boxes (@cvc.net should not be listed).

Once the connection is established, the connection will "drop" to the bottom right hand corner of your screen (by the clock). You are now connected to the Internet, open Internet Explorer to access the world wide web, or Outlook Express for email.
If all of the information checks fine, and an Internet connection still can't be established, re-boot your computer (close all programs, shut off computer and monitor for at least 5 minutes). Once your system has been refreshed, try re-establishing an Internet connection. If everything fails, check to see if your modem is configured correctly or not operating correctly. If the modem is not configured, contact your computer distributor and/or computer repair shop to have your modem fixed. If the modem is configured correctly and is operating correctly, please call CVC Internet to have your settings checked.
Once your dialer is working correctly, Do Not Change Your Settings! This will only cause you unnecessary problems.
