Select (double click) the "my computer" icon on your desktop. This will bring up the following screen:

Select (double click) Dial Up Networking. If you do not have a dial up networking folder within my computer, you may need to go via your Win95/98 start button on your task bar as shown below:

Now you should have the following screen:

Select (double click) Make New Connection.

Enter the name of the connection you are creating. Enter it as Localdial.Com to make identifying the icon a little more simple. The computer should automatically select your current modem. Click on Next.

Enter the telephone number to connect to 873873.

Click on Finish.

Now you have to set up the proxy server. Open up Internet Explorer. Now go to the Internet Options in your tools menu at the top of your screen.

Click the Connections Tab.

Now Click the Localdial.Com Connection you have just made and then click settings.

Check the box which says "Use a proxy Server" and then type into the address box: proxy.localdial.com and type 3128 into the port box.

Now click OK, and OK on the other dialogue box open and now your connection is ready to use.
