On the Toolbar, click Edit and select Preferences from the drop-down menu.

The User's Preferences window appears.

Select the Internet tab.

You can enable Goldmine to dial-up to the Internet.  With this feature enabled, when you launch Goldmine, it will use your Internet connection to dial up to the Internet.

1.  Check the box Use Dial-up networking to enable this.
2.  Select the connection you'd like Goldmine to use to connect to the Internet.

Click the Accounts button.

The Internet Preferences window opens.

Select the Accounts tab.

Highlight the desired account and click the Edit button.

Click the Advanced Options button.
