Welcome
to the Windows 95 Dialup access page.
- You can download
our dialup installation program and everything will be done for
you. setup.exe (278K)
- If the above
setup program does not work, follow the manual instructions below:
- Double click
the My Computer Icon, and check for the dialup
networking icon. If you don't have a dialup networking icon, then
dialup networking needs to be installed:
- To install
dialup networking, click the start button,
settings, and control panel.
- Double
click the add/remove programs icon.
- Press
the windows setup tab at the top of the active
dialog box.
- Click
on communications, and press the details
button, check the dialup networking button
and press OK.
- You will
be taken through the necessary steps to install dialup networking,
one step being one that might throw you. For Windows '95 to
install Dial-Up Networking, it needs to assume that it will
be 'pretending' to be on a REAL network (such as a LAN). Windows
'95 will ask you then for a Computer Name, Workgroup Name
and Computer Description. Since these values are practically
irrelevant, I would suggest putting your first name as the
computer name, you last name as the workgroup name, and any
description you like. (Of course you don't HAVE to use these,
you can use your own). After you complete the install, start
with step #2.
- Double click
the dialup networking icon, if running for the
first time, you will be taken to the dialup networking setup wizard,
if it isn't the first time you've run dialup networking, double
click the new connection icon.
- Name the
new connection Lonetree.com, and press the next
button.
- The phone
# is (307) 6329190
- Press the
finish button, and the new Lonetree.com connection
will be created. Now you need to configure the connection that
you just created.
- Select the
Lonetree.com icon and go to the File menu and
go to Properties.
- Right Click
on Lonetree.com, left click on properties and
remove the check in the checkbox that reads, " Use country
and area code".
- Press the
Server type button in the lower right.
- Make sure
that the connection type is PPP: Win 95, Win NT 3.5, Internet.
Under advanced options, make sure that log on to network is checked
and enable software compression and require encrypted password
is not checked.
- Under allowed
network protocols, TCP/IP should be the only protocol checked.
If the others are checked, uncheck them.
- Press the
TCP/IP settings option, and make sure that Server
assigned IP address is selected. In the next section, click on
Server Assigned name server Address.
- You will
need to double click this Lonetree.com Dialup Network Icon that
you've just created and configured to start your Internet connection
in the future. But before you can do that, one more piece needs
to be configured.
- You will
need to configure your network control panel to make the Lonetree.com
dialup session compatible with Lonetree.com's network services.
