Configuring Your Connection

The Internet connection supplied by Toucan Internet supports both analogue modem speeds to 56K and ISDN. Our postmaster determines the connection type and routes you call automatically upon connection.

IP addresses are dynamically assigned and do not need to be specified.

When you ordered your Internet connection services with Toucan Internet you will have been supplied a username and a password for connection services; these you will need now. You will also need the connection number - 0845 0502502. If your system supports a fall-back number then also use 0845 2003187.

Instructions are for Windows 9*

Locate Dial-Up Networking on your pc and choose Make New Connection

2. Naming the service

Enter the name of the new connection - Toucan Internet. The device is the modem or ISDN adapter which is connected to your pc. If you already have a previous Internet connection then this should be configured correctly and should not require any further changes. If you require help in configuring your modem/adapter, please refer to the Windows help files and the instructions supplied with your modem/adapter. Choose next.
