The Network Connection Type menu presents three choices for Internet and private network setup:
  • The Connect to the Internet option supports several types of Internet connection setup. This option allows the user to choose from a list of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), use a setup CD-ROM provided by their ISP, or set up a connection manually.

  • Connect to the network at my workplace supports client-side set up of both dialup remote access and VPN services.

  • The Set up an advanced connection option supports serial, parallel and infrared port networking setups. This option also allows the user to enable certain types of incoming network connections.
