WINDOWS 95 DIALER SETUP

This article is for those Windows 95 users who have been surfing the internet without a problem, and, all of a sudden, your connection refuses to work! If you get messages like, "?no DNS available ?quot;, or "?check your password and try again?quot; read on.

You could be experiencing the infamous Windows 95 'bug' where your dialer gets corrupt for no apparent reason. (There is, of course, a reason ?iles necessary to run the dial-up programs get messed up and things can't run smoothly-it's not your fault, it is just the way it is?)

Follow these steps to manually create a new dialer:
1. Double-click the My Computer icon.

2. Double-click the Dial-Up Networking icon.

If you are prompted with a Welcome to Dial-Up Networking window, click the Cancel button. (If Dial-Up Networking is not in My Computer, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Dial-Up Networking from your Start Button)

3. Delete all Dialer icons, except Make New Connection, that are not being used, including the Primary icon. (To delete: single-click the icon, from the menu bar click File, select Delete, select Yes )

4. Double-click the Make New Connection Icon (see above)

5. Type the name for this icon &endash; Primary, in place of the default name provided, which is My Connection.

6. Click Next

7. Type the local modem dial-in # from your welcome letter.

8. Click Next

9. Click Finish

10. Single-click the Primary icon.

11. From the menu bar, click File and select
Properties

12. Select Server Types, found either at the top or bottom right of the Primary Properties window.

13. Type of Dial-Up Server should say:

"PPP:Windows95,Windows NT3.5, Internet". There should be a check next to Enable software compression and TCP/IP. All other boxes should be empty. (Click in the checked box to remove checkmark)

14. Click the TCP/IP Setting button.

15. Select Server assigned IP address

16. Select Server assigned name server addr?

17. Primary and Secondary WINS should both be 0.0.0.0

18. There should be checks in both the Use IP Header Compression and Use default gateway?/i> boxes

19. Click OK at the bottom.

20. Click OK at the bottom of each window until you are returned to the Dial-Up Networking window where you will see "Make New Connection" and "Primary" icons.

21. Double-click the Primary icon

22. Type your username in the appropriate box. (username must be in lower-case letters and match exactly what Primary has on file. Ex: johndoe

23. Type your password in the appropriate box. (password must be in lower case letters and match exactly what Primary has on file)

24. If you can put a checkmark in the "Save Password" box directly below the Password line, do so at this time.
If the "Save Password" checkbox is not available, click here for more information about how to activate it.

25. Make sure the modem dial-in # is visible in the Phone number window.

If you must dial 9 to get an outside line the number should look like this: 9,6220526 If you have call waiting, the number should look like this: *70,6220526 (dashes are not necessary) You can key these changes in the phone number box as needed. (Remember to use correct phone number from list at left.) Do not include area code.

26. If you have "Voice Messaging" with the phone company, and you hear a 'stutter-dialtone' when you pick up the receiver &endash; you must clear the voice mailbox before continuing on to dial.

27. Click the Connect button.

28. You should hear your modem dialing, see the 'verifying username and password' dialog box, and the final 'connect' dialog box.
