the "Connect To" screen when you connect (assuming you use the
Dial-up Networking connection and not Internet Explorer or a third party
program) however the change will not be permanent. To permanently change
the phone number in a dial-up networking connection follow the steps

the icon by clicking on it one time then press the "ENTER"
or "RETURN" key on your keyboard.) |
Step 2
: Double click on the "Dial-Up Networking" icon.
| (Note: if double clicking does not work, highlight
the icon by clicking on it one time then press the "ENTER"
or "RETURN" key on your keyboard.) |
Step 3
: Click the "right" mouse button on the connection you want to
change the phone number in and a menu will appear. Click on "Properties"
with the "left" mouse button.

"File" > " Properties " |
