Windows 95/98 PPP Setup

This is a setup and general help guide for connecting to aserty using Windows 95/98 Dial-Up Networking (DUN) and PPP. To follow these setup instructions, you must have an existing account and client ID with aserty. If you do not have an account, go to our Registration Center.

Windows 95/98 Dial-Up Networking gives you a 32-bit Internet connection and allows you to use any 32-bit or 16-bit Internet software.

Setup Dial-Up Networking (DUN)

Note: If you have a folder in My Computer called Dial-Up Networking then DUN has already been installed — skip to Configure Dial-Up Networking.

  1. Double-click My Computer
    Double-click Control Panel
    Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
  2. Select the Windows Setup tab.
    Highlight Check the box Communications.
  3. Click Details.
    Check the box next to Dial-Up Networking
    Click OK
    Click Apply to begin installation.

Once installation is complete (this may take a while) you will be prompted to restart Windows to put your changes into effect.
Click OK to restart.

Next Step: Enable the TCP/IP Networking Protocol



Enable the TCP/IP Networking Protocol
  1. Double-click My Computer
    Double-click Control Panel
    Double-click Network.

    If it is not installed:
    Click Add
    Highlight Client
    Click Add again.
    Select "Microsoft" from the "Manufacturers" list
    Select "Client for Microsoft Networks" from the "Network Clients" list.
    Click OK.
  3. Verify that "Dial-Up Adapter" is installed.
    If it is not installed:
    Click Add
    Highlight Adapter
    Click Add again.
    Select "Microsoft" from the "Manufacturers" list

    Click OK.
  5. At this point, you should have three Network components installed: Client for Microsoft Networks, Dial-Up Adapter, and TCP/IP. If you have additional Network components installed, you might have connection problems. If you are not connecting to a LAN, you may want to remove these additional Network components.
  6. Highlight Dial-Up Adapter, and then click Properties. Select the Bindings tab. Verify that only TCP/IP is checked, and then click OK.
  7. Highlight TCP/IP, and then click Properties. Verify that the following information is correct for each tab:

    • DNS Configuration: Disable DNS is selected. If you are using another Internet Service Provider and have their DNS Servers listed in the DNS Configuration tab, you will need to add the settings to their Dial-up Networking icon instead. If you wish, you can add our DNS servers here.
  8. Click OK to close the TCP/IP settings window.
  9. Verify that "Client for Microsoft Networks" is selected in the "Primary Network Logon" drop-down list.
    Click OK (you may be required to add a Computer and Workgroup Name in the Identification tab).
