Dave's rough guide to set up WIN95 for dialing in using Slirp
This is a very rough guide to set up your computer running WIN95 for dialing
in to ECE and using Slirp. Everything below might not appear in that order
depending on how your WIN95 was installed. The important information are
there and it should be obvious as to where the information goes once you
start the process.
Notation: "-->The Internet" means Click on "The Internet" icon or box.
1) Setting up the modem. The Wizard should be able to find your modem,
if not you'll have to tell the Wizard what kind and which port the modem
is on.
-->Start -->Control Panel -->Modem
-->Next -->Next -->Next
Country: Canada
Area Code: 514
-->Next -->Finish
You should now get a "Modem Properties", the default setting should be
fine, therefore just -->Close.
2) Setting up the networking protocols.
-->Start -->Settings -->Control Panel -->Network
-->Add -->Client -->Microsoft client for Microsoft Network -->OK
-->Microsoft -->Dial-up Adopter -->OK
-->Add -->Protocol -->Add -->Microsoft -->TCP/IP -->OK
-->TCP/IP -->Properties
-->IP address
check "Specify an IP address"
IP address: 10.0.2.15
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255.0
-->DNS Configuration
check "Enable DNS"
Host "Whatever you want"
Domain ece.concordia.ca
DNS server Search Order
132.205.2.1 -->Add
-->OK -->Identification
Computer Name: Your choice
Workgroup: Your choice
It might prompt you for the WIN95 CD to get the proper files. If it does just
place the WIN95 CD into the CD-ROM and -->OK.
-->Restart computer
After WIN95 restarts, it will have a login window. Follow the instructions
if you don't want the login window to appear again.
3) The following lets the computer know whenever you start an application
that needs Internet services to bring up the dial in window. This sequence
will be different if you have already tried to run Netscape or the MS
Internet Explorer. Nevertheless the information is still valid but
the sequence will be a little different.
Note: The "The Internet" icon is the globe on the desktop not the one
in the Control Panel.
-->The Internet -->Next
check "I already have an account with a different service provider."
-->Next
check "NO" to Microsoft Exchange for email
-->Next
It might prompt you for the WIN95 CD to get the proper files. If it does just
place the WIN95 CD into the CD-ROM and -->OK.
-->Next
Name of Service Provider: ECE(or whatever you want)
-->Next
Area Code:514 Telephone Number:848-8840(7370 or 8820 for ugrads)
Country Code: Canada
Check "Bring up terminal Window after dialing"
-->Next
User Name: Your Choice
Password: Leave it blank
-->Next
The "IP address" window should already have the proper information
If not, add the following:
Check "Always use the following"
IP Address: 10.0.2.15
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
-->Next
The "DNS Server Address" window should already have the proper
information. If not, add the following:
DNS Address: 132.205.2.1
-->Next
Check "Use Internet Mail"
Your Email Address: "Your email address"
Internet Mail Server: pop.ece.concordia.ca
-->Next -->Finish
4) If everything went well you should be able to dial in and
connect to ECE via your modem. Here's how:
a) Connect your modem to the phone line.
b) Click on Netscape or MS Internet Navigator.
c) You should get a dial in window, just -->Connect
d) The modem should dial and a "Post-Dial Terminal Screen" will appear.
e) Wait (or hit the 'return' key) for the prompt.
f) For 848-7370 and 8820 users, you'll have to type "rlogin snow-white -l
your_user_name".
g) Start Slirp by typing "/local/bin/slirp -P", and then -->Continue(F7) on
"Post-Dial Terminal Screen" window.
h) You should now be connected.
i) To logout, -->ECE Connection at bottom of screen and -->Disconnect.
OR just -->Disconnect when you exit the Netscape of MS Internet Navigator
program.
