This document is the ONLY SUPPORT provided by Fort Lewis College with regard to Dial-Up.
Requirements:
· Macintosh computer
· OS 9.x installed on Macintosh
· 14,400 or faster modem (installed as per manufacturer)
· Information used to make a PPP connection
· Your FLC username and password
· Local access telephone number: 247-7299 (on campus 7299)
Step 1: Verify that all the Necessary Control Panels are Installed
From the Apple menu select the Control Panels option. Here you will find a list of all the currently installed Control Panels. In this list you should find the AppleTalk, Remote Access, and TCI/IP Control Panels. These Control Panels should be pre-installed from the factory. If they are missing from your system follow the instructions provided by Apple for installing various Control Panels to add them. There will probably also be a Modem Control Panel. Follow the instructions provided in your modem manual to be sure it is installed, configured, and operating properly.
Step 2: Configure the AppleTalk Control Panel
From the Apple menu select the Control Panels option. Locate the AppleTalk Control Panel and select it. A Connect via: option is presented, the desired choice is Remote Only. If Remote Only is not displayed in the Connect via: window, point to the arrow at the right of this window. You will see other choices for connection, find Remote Only and select it.
Close the AppleTalk Control Panel; allow the computer to save changes.
Step 3: Configure the TCP/IP Control Panel
From the Apple menu select the Control Panels option. Locate the TCP/IP Control Panel and select it. The settings method for this Control Panel are similar to the AppleTalk Control Panel. Here again you will find a Connect via: option, the desired choice is PPP. If PPP is not displayed in the Connect via: window, point to the arrow at the right of this window. You will see other choices for a TCP/IP connection, find PPP and select it.
In the Setup portion of the TCP/IP Control Panel there is a Configure: option. Using the same method described above select the desired setting of Using PPP Server. The options labeled IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router Address are not modifiable and will be supplied by the server as described. In the box marked “Domain Name Server Address” enter the number 10.4.1.41 WITH the periods.
Close the TCP/IP Control Panel, allow the computer to save changes.
STEP 4: CONFIGURE THE REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM
Open the Remote Access control panel in the apple menu.
Choose the “Registered User” option.
Enter your FLC Username in the “Name” box and your password in the “Password” box.
Check the box marked “Save Password.”
In the “Number” box, enter 247-7299.
Next, click the button marked “Options.”
On the tab marked “Protocol.”
There are five options.
The first option, “Use Protocol” should be set to “PPP.” If “PPP” is not selected, click the pull-down arrow and choose it.
For the remaining options:
- Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications, SHOULD be checked.
- Allow error correction and compression in modem, SHOULD be checked.
- Use TCP/IP Header compression, SHOULD be checked.
- Connect to a command line host, SHOULD NOT be checked.
There are two buttons below this option, which will be “grayed out” and not usable.
Close this window and allow the computer to save your changes.
STEP 5: MAKING A DIAL UP CONNECTION
At this point you are ready to make a dial-up connection. Double click the Internet Explorer or Netscape icon to open your browser. The Remote Access system should connect automatically.
Remember to disconnect when you are done using the TCP/IP based applications. Until you disconnect your telephone line will remain busy for friends and family trying to call you. To disconnect, close the internet browser. You should be prompted to disconnect.
