Configuring Dialup Networking using Windows NT 4.x Eudora User Manual

10If your Internet Service Provider has assigned you a specific (static) IP address, select the Specify an IP address option, then enter that address in the field. Otherwise, if your provider assigns IP addresses dynamically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), then keep the default Server assigned IP address setting.

11If your Internet Service Provider supports DHCP, then the name server addresses will automatically be configured by DHCP, and you should keep the default Server assigned name server addresses setting. Otherwise, select the Specify name server addresses option, then enter the server addresses assigned by your Internet Service Provider. Click OK to accept the TCP/IP Settings changes.

12Back in the Server Types dialog, click OK to accept the changes.

13Back in the Phonebook Entry Properties dialog, click OK to accept the changes.

14You should now be back in your Dialup Networking folder. Double-click on your new Phonebook entry to dial your Internet Service Provider. Your modem should immedi- ately dial the phone number defined in your Phonebook entry, and Windows 95/98 should prompt you for your username and password.

15Once your modem negotiates the connection with the remote system, you typically then have to “log in” to that remote system by entering the username and password assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider. Some systems require that you first press Enter to display a login prompt, then enter the username and password. In any event, once you are “logged on” (authenticated), some providers automatically start your SLIP or PPP session, while others require that you take an extra step, such as typing ppp, to initiate a PPP session. Carefully note the exact steps you must take in order to manually log in and establish a SLIP/PPP session: you will need this informa- tion in order to automate the login process, as described in “Defining a Login Script.”

Configuring Dialup Networking using Windows NT 4.x

Dialup Networking is an optional component of Windows NT 4.x. Before configuring Dialup Networking, you should make sure Windows NT recognizes your modem and also make sure your Windows NT networking software includes support for the TCP/IP protocol. Consult your Microsoft documentation for details on installing your modem, configuring the TCP/IP protocol, and installing the Dialup Networking tools. To properly configure TCP/IP, you may need some information from your Internet Service Provider regarding your IP address and your DNS server(s).

After you install Dialup Networking, follow these steps to define a new Phonebook entry:

1Double-click on the My Computer icon to open an Explorer window. Then double-click on the Dialup Networking icon to launch the Dialup Networking tool.

2Click the New… button to display the New Phonebook Entry Wizard.

3Enter the name you want to associate with your Internet Service Provider, then click Next to display the Server page.

4Most Internet Service Providers use a terminal server or a Unix server to support dialup users. Therefore, you should generally check all three boxes to indicate that (1) you are calling the Internet, (2) it is okay to send your plain text password, and (3) the server expects login information. Ask your email administrator or your Internet Service Provider if you are unsure about these settings.
