Difficulties creating a dial-up connection
Hi all,
I own an Inspiron 4150.I have recently reinstall my OS(WINDOWS XP HOME), and I have reinstalled all the drivers and updated my BIOS system. However, I cannot create an internet connection using dial-up, below are the errors I received while trying to create a new connection using different methods:
1)When I use Control Panel->Network and Internet Connections->Network Connections->Create a new connection, I have the New Connection Wizard, but I cannot select "Connect Using a dial-up modem".
2)When I use Explorer->Tools->Internet Options->Connections-> "Add", this message appears "Cannot load Remote Access Connection Manager. Error 711: A configuration error onthis computer is preventing this connection. For further assistance, click more info or search Help & Support Center for this error number."
Then I proceed on to start the Remote Access Connection Manager under Services, but I receive this message "Cannot start Remote Acess Connection Manager on Local Computer. Error 5: Access Denied"
3)I've checked the properties of my modem, it is attached to COM 5. But under Device Manager-> Ports, I have only a Communication Port COM1. Will this pose a problem?
P.S : The modem have passed all tests under Dell Modem Help, it is an internal modem already installed in my computer when I receive it(Actiontec MD56ORD V92 MDC Modem)
Thank you for your kind help!

jieqi,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
I found a web site that provides instructions on how to manually set up a modem connection. You may also want to look at this site explaining various modem number errors.

You will have to navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\EAP and delete the folders numbered 25 & 26, then reboot and your problem will be fixed.
you don't have to download anytthing that is why I said the workaround it is in the middle of the page
