Method 2: Use Dial-up Networking to Publish to the Server

NOTE: To use dial-up networking to access the remote server, you need a modem and a dial-up Internet Service Provider.

Use dial-up networking to publish the web and bypass the proxy server. The dial-up adapter must be bound to TCP/IP.

For more information about adding and removing dial-up networking components, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
