I try to set VPN connection on XP, but a dial up icon appear; with button 'dial' instead of 'connect'

Question

I used to set up a vpn icon in Network Connections, by using the wizard and selecting VPN and give the IP adress. However, when I click finish, the icon is created under dial up connections. When clicked, the window has a 'dial' button instead of 'connect' button. Properties show that the IP is interpreted as telephone number and using the modem, instead of NIC card. If I enter username and password and click 'dial' button, I get a 'no dial tone' error message.
I did not select the wrong options.
Anyone have experience with this?
