| Windows 95 Configuration Information |
While you are still online, get the ppp script
and install it according to the instructions that follow. Then
check your mailbox one last time. There should be a piece of
mail waiting with recovery instructions in case things don't go
quite right!
This set of instructions should lead you through the simple steps of
reconfiguring your existing slip or previous setup. You should complete
these steps even if you have been previously set up to run PPP.
Step 1
- Sign on as you normally would and go to your browser.
- Make sure you have a Dynamic PPP login (MaineStreet supports many types of login: shell, ppp, slip, static addressing, XRemote.)
- Enter your userid and password since you will be going into a secure area.
- Select the option of PPP and click on the submit button.
- Wait a minute to allow the change to take effect and then proceed with the following steps.
Step 2
You must have Dial-Up scripting installed from the Win95 CD-ROM.
- Double click on "My Computer"
- Double click on "Control Panels"
- Double click on "Add/Remove Software"
- Click on the Windows Setup tab
- Click Have Disk button
- Click Browse button
- It is located in d:\admin\apptools\dscript
NOTE: "d:\" may be "e:\" on your computer
Step 3
- Double click on "My Computer"
- Double click on "Dialup Networking"
- Click once on the MaineStreet Icon with the right (secondary)mouse button
- Click once on "Properties". This will open up a dialog box.
- In this dialog locate and click on the "Server Type" button in the lower right hand corner.
- On this screen there are a few items to verify/change, they are:
- Choose the PPP... server type in the drop down list at the top.
- Ensure that ONLY the Compression option and TCP/IP option are checked. THE LOG ON TO NETWORK OPTION MUST NOT BE CHECKED!
- Click on OK and on OK again in the previous window.
- Close all other windows if you desire.
Step 4
- Click on the start button.
- Go to Programs, Accessories, Dial up Scripting Tool
- Ensure that the MaineStreet icon is selected on the left
- Remove any check marks that may be on the right
- Click on Apply
- Click on the Edit button
- Change the first "delay 2" to a "delay 4"
- *** note *** If you want, you can edit the script further and replace each $USERID with "your user id" and each $PASSWORD with "your password" (be sure to include the quotes!)
- Save your work and exit the Scripting Tool
Step 5
- Dial up MaineStreet as you normally would but expect a few differences, such as:
- In the terminal window you will see only a prompt for the Username come up and then for a split second it will seem to hang and then you should be connected.
