Creating a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) Connection for windows 98
Creating a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) Connection for windows 98 How would you like to be able to use your dial-up access even when you're using a different computer? You can, even if the DSLExtreme Dialup software is not installed. All you have to do is to create a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) Connection on the computer. Tip: Before creating a new DUN, you might want to check to see if a DUN is already installed. Before you set up a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection, you should check whether one exists on the computer already.
- Click the Start button at the left side of your Windows taskbar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Control Panel.
- Double-click Add/Remove Programs; the Add/Remove Programs Property window will open.
- Click the Windows Setup tab.
- Click on the word Communications (not the check box before it) to highlight that line.
- Click the Details... button further down that window; the Communications window will open.
- If there is a check before Dial-Up Networking, then it is installed. If not, then check it and click OK and it will install.
- Now you will need to create a Dial-Up Networking connection before connecting to DSLExtreme.
To create a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection on a computer using the Windows 98 operating system:
- Double click the My Computer icon on computer’s desktop.
- Double click Dial-up Networking.
- Double click Make New Connection.
- In the Type a name for the computer you are dialing field, type DSLExtreme and click Next.
- Type your preferred access number. If you do not have one of our numbers, call us at 866-491-7221
- Click Next; you will receive confirmation that you have successfully created a new Dial-Up Networking connection called DSLExtreme.
- Click Finish; the Make a New Connection window will close and you’ll be back on the Dial-Up Networking screen. You’ll see that DSLExtreme now appears as an option. That’s your new DUN connection to DSLExtreme.
Then follow these steps to complete the set-up of the DSLExtreme connection:
- Right-click the DSLExtreme DUN connection you just created; a pop-up menu will display.
- Click Properties; a window titled DSLExtreme will open.
- Click the Server Types tab.
- In the Advanced Options only enable software compression should be checked. In the Allowed Network Protocols area at the bottom of the Server Types tab, only TCP/IP should be checked off. Click the TCP/IP Settings button; a new window will pop up.
- Click the circle before Specify name server addresses; a dot will fill the circle and the 4 options in that area will change color to show they can now be accessed.
- In the Primary DNS area, replace the zeroes (0s) with this number: 66.51.205.100
- In the Secondary DNS area, replace the zeroes (0s) with this number: 66.51.206100
- Click OK; the TCP/IP Settings window will close.
- Click OK; the DSLExtreme connection window will close and you’ll be back on the computer’s Dial-Up Networking screen.
Finally, to establish a connection to DSLExtreme from that computer:
- Double-click on the DSLExtreme connection on the computer’s Dial-Up Networking screen; the Connect To window will open.
- Type your DSLExtreme username (e.g. [email protected]) and your password in the fields provided. (Remember that your password is case sensitive.)
- Click Connect and wait for the connected conformation window to appear. You’re on!
- Now open your browser and your web pages will open
