What Internet service provider do you have? Do they provide a specific list of instructions on how to set up a Dial-Up connection for use with their service? If they have a CD with connection software, try reinstalling that CD on your system.
Problem started with a VX2.DLL error that would not allow me to use Explorer and Internet Explorer. I used the Dell Solution Center to diagnose the problem and it suggested that I remove all the Network adapters and restart windows. It did not work. Some one on the Dell Community Forum suggested that I download the latest version of Ad-Aware and run it. That solved the Explorer problem. Now I cannot connect through my modem to the internet. I can connect through my networked laptop.
Is TCP/IP Dial Up Adapter for the network or for the Modem or both?
I solved the problem. I went into Control Panel and went into Add/Remove Programs - double clicked the Communications and the Virtual Private Network was not checked. I checked the box and it added the Tcp/Ip Adapter to the the network and that solved the problem.

I use NetZero. It requires the dial up adapter.
