 Windows 95/98/NT Dial-Up Networking configuration
for DialUp Net Internet Services
If you need to manually
enter your DialUp Net connection information, please refer to the
following instructions. If you intend to reformat your hard drive at
some point in the future or configure multiple computers for the same
setup, print out these instruction for easy reference.
|
 |
First,
double-click the "My Computer" icon to open up the window
containing icons for your drives, control panel, and dial-up networking.
Then, double-click the "Dial-Up Networking"
folder.
In the window that opens up, double-click
the "Make New Connection" icon. |
|
 |
The
"Make New Connection" wizard begins. You are prompted to
enter in the name of the computer you are dialing; you can enter
"DialUp Net" to make the icon easy to recognize.
Insure that your modem is displayed under
"Select a device...." If nothing is present, click the
drop-down area and see if your modem is listed. If not, you need to
install your modem using the "Modem" icon in your Windows
Control Panel, accessible from the "My Computer" window you
opened in the first step.
Click the "Next >" button. |
|
 |
Here,
you need the local access number for DialUp Net. Type it in the
"Telephone Number" block. Be sure the area code is the
correct one for the access number you are using.
If you do not have a number, you can
connect via one of these access numbers listed below initially so
that you can find your local access number. We will tell you
how to change it later on.
San Francisco: 415-442-4600 (56k, ISDN)
Tallahassee: 850-222-5078 (56k, ISDN)
New York: 212-461-5208 (56k, ISDN)
Click the "Next >" button. |
|
 |
Here
is the last screen of the wizard.
Click the "Finish" button.
Your DialUp Net connection has been made;
now you must configure it. |
|
 |
The
"Dial-Up Networking" window should still be open. If not,
double-click "My Computer" icon again and then the "Dial-Up
Networking" folder to re-open it.
You should see the DialUp Net icon
representing the connection you have just made. |
|
 |
Right-click
the icon, that is, hover your mouse pointer above the icon and press the
right mouse button. A pop-up menu should appear. Click the
"Properties" option (with the left mouse button) to begin
editing the connection. |
|
 |
This
window should appear. Check to make sure the telephone number
present is the one you typed in earlier.
Click the "Server Types" tab at
the top of the window. |
|
 |
Make
sure "PPP..." is selected in the "Type of Dial-Up
Server" list box.
Then, insure that only "Enable
software compression" and "TCP/IP" are checked.
Click the "TCP/IP Settings"
button. |
|
 |
Make
sure that each section has "Server Assigned Name Server
Addresses" bulleted. Macintosh machines may need to
specify DNS. For "Primary DNS" enter 207.76.72.4.
"Secondary DNS" should be 207.76.72.5.
Make sure the "Use IP header
compression" IS checked and the "Use default gateway on remote network"
check box IS checked.
Click "OK" to close TCP/IP
Settings and click "OK" to close the DialUp Net configuration
window.
You are now ready to connect to DialUp Net.
If you had your own Local Access Number
earlier, you are finished. Otherwise, you need to find a number that
is local for you. DialUp Net is not responsible for any toll
charges you may incur.

If
you typed in a provided Local Access Number from above because you did not
have your specific Local Access Number, connect to the DialUp Net website
and go to the customer service page to retrieve your Local Access
Number. |
|
|
As
before, double-click the "My Computer" icon, then double-click
the "Dial-Up Networking" folder to see your "DialUp
Net" icon. |
|
|
Right-click
it and choose properties form the menu. |
|
|
Replace
the "Area code" and "Telephone number" blocks with
your Local Access Number information.
Click "OK," then disconnect your
internet connection. Reconnect to the internet and your service
should be completely re-established. |
