Windows 10: Windows 10 dial-up connection

My parents, ages 81 and 77, purchased a new computer. The default web browser is Microsoft Edge. On their previous computer, which had Windows XP installed, they had a fairly simple process to connect to the internet.

• Open Internet Explorer
• Select "dial" when prompt appears to connect via "dial-up connection"

The new computer forces them to:

• Open Internet Explorer
• Open network connections
• Select "dial-up connection"
• Select "dial"
• After connected, close "dial-up connection"

Microsoft Edge isn't any friendlier in regards to this either.


Living in a very rural area, they have no access to high speed or wireless internet. They are limited to 28.8k speeds over the existing phone lines. How do I set Internet Explorer to prompt for the "dial-up" connection. Or how do I configure Microsoft Edge to do this? Is there a patch or upgrade I can download at home, take to their computer and install? We tried settings and troubleshooting apps. I couldn't find a valid answer while searching the web.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kenny

Dial Up and Ethernet connection simultaneously

Hello All,

I have a PC with Windows 10 installed. The PC is connected to the LAN and has access to the internet.
I have connected as well the ISDN Terminal Adapter to this PC, which I am using for the Dial UP connections.
I know this is old technology but I need Dial UP for the maintaining some of my customers equipment.

The problem is, as soon as I establish the Dial Up connection I am losing access to the Internet and on my Ethernet connection icon I can see this yellow triangle with exclamation mark. The funny thing is, not so far ago everything has been working properly, now it is really annoying, because usually I am connecting to this PC via app similar to the Team Viewer and when I am Dial Up the PC is losing access to the Internet and I am losing remote access to this PC, which is pointless. Any advice and suggestions will be really appreciated!

Please see the screenshots of my routing table before and after Dial Up connection at the bottom of this post.

As you can see the metric of my default route is changing every time when I Dial Up.

I was trying to change the metric manually but even if I do this, always after I Dial Up the metric for my default gateway is changed.

Kind Regards,

Nick

 

How2 quickly turn on a Dial-up Broadband Connection?


Here and elsewhere I found how to create a Dial-up, broadband connection (sorry still using this old stuff seeing that I am at a university in China) shortcut placed on the desktop. B4 the shortcut I had to:
-1- click on the R-side of the task bar icon
-2- Click on the broadband strip on top
-3- Click on the connection
-4- click on Connect
Creating a shortcut from there (Settings -> Network & Internet -> DIal-up) onto the desktop actually creates an extra step since it defaults to VPN instead--and even if it didn't it would still be 4 steps.
Is this any way to make this a 1 or 2-step process?
Thank you
