ABSTRACT
Windows NT 4.0 Dial-Up Networking (DUN)
is very similar to the Windows 95/98 DUN. Below is a tutorial which will guide
you through installing the Remote Access Service (RAS) and configuring DUN to
connect to your network.
SECTION 1 INSTALLING REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE
- Click on Start, Select
Settings and then Control Panel.
- Double click on Network and
select the Services tab.
- Check to see if Remote Access
Service (RAS) is installed. If RAS is installed go straight to Section 2.
- If you do not see the Remote Access
Service click on add to bring up the Select Network Service screen.
- Highlight Remote Access Service and
click on OK. You will probably be required to insert your Windows NT
CD to copy files.
6.
Proceed to section 2 to configure RAS.
SECTION 2 CONFIGURE REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE
- Click on Start, Select
Settings and then Control Panel.
- Double click on Network and
select the Services tab.
- Select Remote Access Service and
click on Properties. If no modems are listed click on Add,
select or install a modem, following the prompts, and click on OK to
return to Remote Access Setup. Otherwise simply select the appropriate modem
and click on Configure.
- On the Configure Port Usage screen
select Dial out only. You can also use RAS to accept incoming calls but this
is a security risk. Click on OK to return to the Remote Access Setup
screen.
- Click on Network and ensure
that only TCP/IP is selected. Click on OK and then click on Continue.
This will bring you back to the Network Control Panel. Click on Close
and select Yes when asked to restart your machine.
SECTION 3 CONFIGURE DIAL-UP NETWORKING
- Double click on My Computer
then double click on Dialup Networking. If you are running this
program for the first time it will display a message that the phonebook is
empty. Click on OK to add an entry. Otherwise click on New.
- Give the new phonebook entry a name
eg. Quanta Tech and click on Next.
- Make sure that the entry "The
non-Windows NT..." is selected. Click on Next.
- Enter the nearest Quanta Tech Dial
in Access number and click on Next.
- Select the PPP protocol and click on
Next.
- Set the logon script to None and
click on Next.
- You will be asked to enter an IP
address. Leave the IP address set as 0.0.0.0 because Quanta Tech assigns
your IP address as you log in. Click on Next.
- You will now be asked to enter the
Name Server Addresses. Enter the details as below:
| DNS server |
207.174.8.2 |
| Wins server |
0.0.0.0 |
Click on Next then Finish
to return to the Dial-Up Networking screen.
SECTION 4 CONNECTING TO Quanta Tech
- Click on Dial in the Dial-Up
Networking screen.
- Enter your Quanta Tech username (eg.
jsmith).
Enter your password and click OK. Your modem will now dial and connect to Quanta Tech.
When you are connected, your computer will beep.
- To bring up statistics or disconnect move the mouse over the tool bar
and right click on the telephone icon. A menu will appear from which you
will be able to select Open Dial-Up Monitor or Hang up.
