Troubleshooting
Step 1 - Installing
the TCP/IP Protocol
- Open your Control Panel (Start
-- Settings -- Control Panel).
- Go to the Network Applet.
From the tabs at the top choose Protocols.
- Next add the TCP/IP
protocol*.
*If it is already present on the list of Network Protocols
then skip to Step 2.
- Click the Add button and select
TCP/IP Protocol from the list, then click OK.
[You may be prompted to type in the path of the installation
cd. (i.e. D:\I386)]
- Once the file copy is complete
continue to the next step. Do NOT click OK.
Step 2 - Install
Remote Access Services (RAS)
- Once TCP/IP is installed (i.e.
all the files have finished copying) click on the Services
tab.
- Next, we need to add the Remote
Access Service (RAS).
*If it is already there then proceed to Step 3.
- Click the Add button,
select Remote Access Service from the list and click
Ok.
[You may be prompted to type in the path of the installation
cd. (i.e. D:\I386)]
- Once the file-copy is complete,
you should see the Remote Access Setup window.
Displayed here should be a Port and Device
which represent your modem.
*If this window is blank then proceed to Step 3.
Otherwise, proceed to Step 4.
Step 3 - Installing
a RAS device (modem)
Step 4 - Configuring
RAS to use the TCP/IP protocol
- On the Remote Access Setup
window click the Network button.
You will see a list of the available Dial-out Protocols:
- TCP/IP
- IPX/SPX Compatible
- NetBEUI
- Check the TCP/IP box
and click Ok.
- On the Remote Access Setup
box click the Continue button.
Once you've completed adding RAS to the Services
tab click Ok.
Windows NT will review your bindings and update your system
and eventually prompt you to restart.
Allow your computer to restart and then proceed to the following
steps.
Step 1 - Creating
a phone book entry
Open up My Computer
and double-click on Dialup Networking. You should see
a message prompting you to click Ok to add a phone book entry.
Click Ok. This will be in the new Phone book Entry
wizard:
- Name the new phonebook entry
COMSATS and click Next
- Check the first 2 boxes
:
I am calling the Internet
Send the password plain text if that's the only way to
connect.
- Then proceed by clicking
Next.
- Fill in the number:
13111333
- Click Finish
Step 2 - Create
a shortcut to COMSATS
- Click on the More
button and choose Create shortcut to entry.
- This will bring up a the
Create Dialup Shortcut Window where you can click
Ok to save the shortcut on your desktop.
Step 3 - Dialing
and Logging In
- Using the shortcut will
allow you to log on to COMSATS and Run your Internet Programs.
When you use that shortcut or corresponding phonebook
entry for the first time, you will be prompted for a username
and password. Your current Windows NT username will be
the default and should be replaced by your COMSATS
username.
- Fill in your password and
check the save password box if you wish to avoid typing
it in each time. There is a blank for Domain. This is
for logging on to a Windows NT domain not an Internet
domain... it must be left blank. Once connected
the Dialup connection monitor icon will appear next to
the clock in the taskbar.
Step 4 - Hanging
up
- When you are finished with
your COMSATS session, right-click the Dialup Networking
Monitor (next to the clock in the taskbar) and choose
Hangup to hang up your COMSATS connection.
- Login is not successful and
COMSATS hangs up on you.
- Go to My Computer and
then Dialup Networking.
- Select COMSATS in the
phonebook, click the More button and choose
Edit entry and modem properties
- Click on the Security
tab.
Be sure that Accept any authentication including clear
text is checked.
