Windows XP using Network Dial-up
To set up your Internet connection with Windows XP, begin by clicking on the Start menu in the bottom left corner of your screen and going to 'Control Panel'.

Now look for the icon for 'Network and Internet Connections' and click on that icon.

Under the 'or pick a Control Panel Icon' section, chose the 'Network Connections' link.

This will take you to the page displayed below. Click on the link for 'Create a new connection' in the upper left corner. This will open the New Connection Wizard.

Click on 'Next'.

Make sure the 'Connect to the Internet' option is selected, then click 'Next'.

Make sure the 'Set up my connection manually' option is selected, then click 'Next'.

Make sure the 'Connect using a dial-up modem' option is selected, then click 'Next'.

Type 'Leapfrog Internet' in the box, then click 'Next'.

Type the local phone number that your computer will dial into the box, then click 'Next'.

**Please note it is the customer's responsibility to find the correct access number that is a local call.**

In the User name field, type in your login name with an lfi (short for leapfrog internet) at the beginning (for example: if your login name is john, enter lfijohn). At the end of your user name, enter the appropriate network extension from one of the tables below. Your network code was either sent to you in a welcome email if you signed up over the phone or was on the confirmation page if you signed up online:

An example user name might look like this: lfijohn@vdialup.net or jane@leapmail.net

**Note this username masking is necessary for network authentication purposes. If you are unsure which ending to use, please contact us at support@leapmail.net**

In the 'Password' and 'Confirm Password' fields, type your password, leave all the boxes checked, then hit 'Next'.

We're just about done- now just make sure the 'Add a shortcut...' box is checked and click 'Finish'. This will add an icon to your desktop to make dialing to the internet quick and easy.

Congratulations! You have now finished setting up your Leapfrog Internet account- you are now free to 'hop' around the Internet!
