How to Connect Your Windows 95 Computer to the UD Network Through a Modem

To connect your Windows 95 computer to the UD network through a modem, you will need to do the following:

• Set up and use PPP.
• Use the telnet program to make a connection.
• Install Netscape software.

Setting Up PPP with Windows 95

1. Modem Setup

Make sure your modem is set up and working properly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Dial-Up Networking

Double-click the "My Computer" icon. If you see a folder named "Dial-Up Networking," go to step 3.

If you do not have a "Dial-Up Networking" folder, you will need to install "Dial-Up Networking:"

1. Double-click the Control Panel folder and click "Add/Remove Programs." (Or you can access the Control Panel under "Settings" in the "Start" menu.)
2. Click the "Windows Setup" tab.
3. Click "Communications."
4. Click "Details"; then, click the small box next to "Dial-Up Networking." A checkmark should appear in the box.
5. Click "OK."
6. Click "OK" again.
7. Restart your computer after the installation is complete.
8. Check the "My Computer" screen--you should now see a "Dial-Up Networking" folder.

3. Dial-Up Adapter

Double-click the "My Computer" icon. Double-click the Control Panel folder and double-click the Network icon. If you see a network adapter named "Dial-Up Adapter," go to step number 4.

If you do not have a "Dial-Up Adapter," you will need to add it:

1. Click "Add."
2. In the "Select Network Component Type" box, click "Adapter."
3. Click "Add."
4. Under "Manufacturers," select "Microsoft."
5. Click "OK."
6. The "Network" window will show the "Dial-Up Adapter" and a list of protocols.
7. Delete all references to IPX and NetBEUI protocols by highlighting them and clicking "Remove."
8. Be sure only "Dial-Up Adapter" remains (unless you also have a network card installed--see section 4G below.)

4. TCP/IP Protocol
1. In the "Network" window, click "Add."
2. In the "Select Network Component Type" box, click "Protocol."
3. Click "Add."
4. You will see a "Select Network Protocol" box.
5. Under "Manufacturers," select "Microsoft."
6. Under "Network Protocols," select "TCP/IP."
7. Click "OK."
8. The "Network" window will show the "Dial-Up Adapter" and a list of protocols. You must have one "TCP/IP" protocol assigned to a dial-up adapter.

   Note: If you have a network card installed, you should also keep a "TCP/IP" protocol assigned to the network adapter.

9. Highlight the "TCP/IP" protocol and click "Properties."
10. Select "Obtain an IP address automatically."
11. Click the "DNS Configuration" tab.
12. Fill in the following information:

    Host: If something is already in the "Host" box or if you know your hostname, use it. Otherwise, in the "Host" box, type

    ppp.nss

    Domain:
    udel.edu
    DNS Server Search Order:
    128.175.13.92	Click "Add."
    128.175.13.74	Click "Add."
    Domain Suffix Search Order:
    udel.edu	Click "Add."

13. Click "OK."
14. Click "OK" again. You may be asked to insert your Windows 95 CD or disks.
15. At "Do you want to restart your computer now?," click "yes."

5. Setting Up Your Connection
1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon, and double-click "Dial-Up Networking." The "Welcome to Dial-Up Networking" window comes up. Click "Next."
2. If the "Make a New Connection" window doesn’t come up automatically, click on "Make a New Connection."
3. Type a name for the connection (e.g., University of Delaware).
4. Click "Next."
5. In the box, type a phone number from the following table:

   Dialing from	Modem speed	Number to dial
   New Castle County	14,400–33,600 bps	302-831-0100
   New Castle County	up to 56K bps (v.90 or x2)	302-831-1000
   Sussex County	up to 56K bps (v.90 or x2)	302-645-4052
   Kent County	up to 56K bps (v.90 or x2)	302-734-1472

6. Click "Next."
7. Click "Finish."
8. Right-click in the U of D connection and select "Properties."
9. In the Properties "General" window, select "Server Type." The type of Dial-UP Server should be set to "PPP: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet."
10. Check only the following boxes:
• Enable Software Compression
• TCP/IP
11. Uncheck all other boxes.
12. Click "OK," then click "OK" again to close the "General Properties" window.

The PPP setup is now complete. Follow the steps in the section below "Using PPP with Windows 95" each time you want to connect to the University's network.

A Note About Call Waiting

If you have call waiting, you must turn off the call waiting feature while you are using the computer. Follow the steps below to set up the connection.

1. Click the "My Computer" icon and click the "Dial-Up Networking" folder.
2. In the "Dial-Up Networking" folder, you will see the "University of Delaware" icon.
3. Double-click the icon.

*70, (be sure to type the comma after *70)

7. Click "OK."
8. Click on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of the "Properties" box to close it.

Using PPP with Windows 95

1. In the "Dial-Up Networking" folder, you will see the "University of Delaware" icon. Make sure that you use this icon rather than any other dialer to connect to the University.
2. Double-click the icon.
3. You will see a "Username" prompt box. Type your UNIX username or user number in the "User Name" box.

Note: Be sure to type your username in lowercase letters. The default is uppercase letters.

4. Type your UNIX password in the "Password" box.
5. Click "Connect" to dial. A message will appear that says you’re connected.

Note: Nothing more will happen until you choose a program like telnet to connect to copland to use e-mail or a news reader. One of the buttons on the "Connected to U of D" window is a "Disconnect" button. Be sure to click it to disconnect after you are done working.

If you don’t disconnect, your telephone line will still be connected to the University, and you won’t receive any incoming phone calls.

1. From the "Start" menu, select "Run."
2. Type

telnet copland

3. At the "login" prompt, type your UNIX username.
4. At the "password" prompt, type your UNIX password.
