Windows 95 Dial-in Networking configuration instructions.
These instructions are for my local YKNet ISP access. This uses TCP/IP
with PPP protocols and only username/password authentication.
Click on the links to get a full view of the linked reference
screen shots as you read through these instructions.
Open My Computer.
Double-click
on Dial-up Networking.
If you had no modem in your computer when your Windows 95 or 98 was installed
you won't have Dial-up Networking. If you have a modem now, you can install
the DUN by going into Control Panel and opening Add/Remove Programs. Select
the Windows Setup tab, then click on the Communications section, then click
on the Details button and put a check in Dial-up Networking. Then click
on the OK buttons on both windows and it will be installed.
-
To create a new Dial-Up Networking connection, double-click on Make New
Connection.
-
Label
it whatever you like, then click on Next.
-
Fill in
the phone number you will dial for your ISP's modem pool, then click on
Next, and finally on Finish.
-
Click once
on your new connection to highlight it, then select File, then Properties.
-
From
General, select Configure.
-
General settings:
-
Set
max speed to 115.2 KBPS. (This is not the speed your 28.8 KBPS or faster
modem works at on the telephone line side, it's the speed you get between
the modem and the rest of your computer - with data compression.)
-
Connection
settings:
-
8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit.
-
Advanced
settings:
-
Use error control, compress data, use hardware flow control.
-
Option settings:
-
Don't
bring up terminal window before or after dialling. Click on OK.
-
Back at
General, select Server Type.
-
Set Type
of Dial-Up Server to PPP, Windows95,...Internet.
-
Don't log on to network (this is not the same as username/password authentication).
-
Allowed network protocols: only TCP/IP.
-
Under TCP/IP Settings:
-
Select Server
Assigned IP address (assigned by your ISP each time you dial in)
-
Specify the remote network's name server addresses. For YKnet, they are:
-
199.247.146.2 and 199.247.146.3
-
Use IP header compression.
-
Use default gateway on remote network.
-
Click on OK three times to close Dial-Up Networking Properties, then close
Dial-Up Networking and My Computer: you're done configuring in this area.
Go into your Control Panel.
-
Double-click
on Network.
-
If you
have no Network Adapter, your Configuration should look like this.
-
If you do
have a Network Adapter, it should look something like this.
-
Click on Dial-Up Adapter, then on Properties.
-
Here are the screen shots of the tabs under Properties:



-
Now click
on TCP/IP for the Dial-Up Adapter, then on Properties. (If you get a window
at this point that tells you it is better to make changes in each DUN than
to make them here, click the OK button and continue on.)
-
Here are the screen shots of the tabs under Properties:
-



-
Note that for security purposes the TCP/IP for the dialup adapter has both
Client for Microsoft Networks and File and printer sharing unchecked. You
may have three items here: unbind them all. If you uncheck one or more
of these and Windows then tells you that you "have not selected anything
to bind to, do you want to select one now", click the No button.
-

Click
on OK twice when you're done.
-
Restart your computer for it to take effect.
Congratulations!
You now have completed configuring Windows 95 Dial-in Networking!
Happy surfing!
