# Chapter 3. The kppp wizard

# 3.1. Starting the Wizard.

You can start the wizard from kppp's initial screen. Start kppp from your K menu, where you will find it's entry in the Internet as Internet Dialer.

The following dialog will appear:

The kppp dialer startup screen

It will probably not have any entries to begin with, and that's what we're about to do now.

Click the Setup button to begin setting up a new Internet connection.

The wizard will offer you three choices, Wizard, Dialog Setup and Cancel

The wizard asks you what you want to do

Cancel

  Choose this if you really don't want to be setting up a new account right now. The message box will go away, and you will be left with the dialler screen as before.

Wizard

  If you have a fairly standard modem, and use one of the larger ISP's for your country, the wizard will probably be able to set you up immediately with a working Internet Connection. Try this first, before you try to set up the connection manually.

Dialog Setup

  If you don't succeed with the Wizard, or you just want to do things yourself, choose this. The wizard currently is only useful for a small subset of countries and Internet Providers.

For the purposes of this chapter, we'll assume you are choosing Wizard, and the dialog based setup will be described in a later chapter.
