If you have any other components installed, they may interfere with your connection. If you have a network card installed on your machine, you should not remove the components associated with it from this window. If you are in doubt, do not remove the component.

If you are missing any components, follow these steps:

- Adapter (for Dial-Up Adapter)
- Protocol (for TCP/IP)
Click the new Add… button

All three components are manufactured by Microsoft, so in the Select Network Client/Adapter/Protocol window, select Microsoft from the left hand side, and the component you require from the right hand side. Then click OK.

Once you have the necessary components listed, highlight TCP/IP and select Properties

Once your machine has rebooted, you are ready to connect.
