Manually Connecting to YKC On-Line

If clicking the Internet Explorer icon does not automatically bring up your Dial-Up Networking connection, you may need to manually connect to the Internet.

  • Double click on “My Computer
  • Double click on “Dial-Up Networking
  • Double click on the “YKC” icon
  • Verify your User ID and Password
  • Click “Connect

Your computer will dial and after a short exchange connect to the Internet.  You should receive a confirmation message indicating that you have been connected to the Internet.  You can now start Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook Express or any other program that requires Internet access. Please visit our support page located at http://www.ykc.com/support to learn how to restore your automatic dialing.

 
When you are ready to disconnect from the Internet
Notice the small icon on the bottom right corner of your screen (close to the clock) that looks like two connected computers.  Anytime this icon is visible on the Task Bar, you are connected to the Internet. 

Normally, your Internet connection should auto-disconnect when you close the programs that are using the Internet.  If your connection does not disconnect, double click the icon of the two small computers on the Task Bar.  Double clicking this icon will give you details about your current connection as well as an option to disconnect from the Internet
