Making a Dial-Up Connection

  

Lock-Net uses the standard networking software that comes pre-installed on most operating systems.  This means that you do not have to download extra software to connect to use Lock-Net.  You most likely already have the software necessary to set up a Lock-Net connection.

To setup your computer onto Lock-Net, we recommend using our installation program.

You may download the program by clicking here.
