. Double-click on “dial-up networking”
c. Click on “make a new connection”
d. Give the connection a name (matt, scott, dave, etc)
e. Select a modem to use
f. Click on “next”
g. Put in the phone number to call…In our example if I was configuring
“matt” to call “dave” then I would use 555-6003.
h. Select a country or region code (US)
(Step 2) Configure the communication rules
4. Configure the communication rules (“protocols”):
a. On that connection we just made in the dial-up networking folder, rightclick
it
b. Select “properties”
c. Make optional selections in the next steps.
5. Along the top you will see some tabs to configure various communications
rules for this connection (step 6-10 explain these settings in more detail):
a. Server types—will allow you to select the type of dial-up server to be
called along with some optional settings, will allow you to select the
“allowable network protocols,” and will allow you to see or change your
TCP/IP settings.
b. Scripting—allows us the option to use a modem script or another type of
script for the dial-up access.
c. Multilink—allows us the option of using multi-link for connections.
Server Types Tab:
6. For most connections you will probably just use a connection to a “PPP:
Internet, Windows NT Server, Windows 98” dial-up server. This is usually
used at home to dial into an ISP like AOL, MSN, or Netcom. Your ISP
should be able to walk you through these steps via technical support or will
have “self-installing” software to do this for you.
7. You can select any “advanced options.”
a. Log on to network—Used only when using DUN to have access to a
Microsoft NT controlled network. Most ISP’s run on UNIX so you
probably will not need this.
b. Enable software compression—If your ISP requires use of compression
technologies (most do not) then select this.
c. Require encrypted password—Almost all dial-in connections require a
password. Select this only if your password must be encrypted. Since the
encryption settings must be identical on each end, changes are, at this
point in your networking career, you won’t need this to be enabled.
d. Require data encryption—Ditto..this just encrypts the data.
e. Record a log file for this connection—With this enabled a record of all
activities during the connection will be made. This is similar to keyboard
recorders except more information is included.
