  3. You should see your The Computer Works connection listed in the white box “Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings”.  This is probably called “tcworks.net” or “The Computer Works” but could also be “My Connection” or anything else that you chose when you configured your computer.  It probably has “(Default)” next to it.
