How To Set Up A Windows
2000 Dial-up Setup
|
| First, you will need to
click on the "Start"
button in the lower left hand corner of your screen. Select "Settings"
from the menu, and finally choose "Network
and Dial-up Connections". |
|
Double-Click on the "Make
New Connection" icon. |
 |
|
Click "Next"
to start the setup
|
 |
| Select "Dial-up
to private network" and click "Next". |
 |
| Enter the local dial-up
number for your city or town. To view a list of available numbers,
please visit our Local Numbers page. When finished, click the "Next"
button
|
 |
| Select "For
All Users" here for everyone that
uses the computer to have dial-up access. If you want to restrict
internet access from others, it may be a good idea to select "Only
for myself" and click the "Next"
button.
|
 |
| Enter a name to group your
internet settings under. This should be something like "Internet"
or "FamilySmart".
Also, make sure the checkbox at the bottom is marked to add a shortcut
to your desktop screen. Once this is completed, click "Next". |
 |
| In the "Network
and Dial-up Connections" window,
right-click on your new FamilySmart
icon. This should cause a small context menu to appear. Click on the Properties
option to proceed to the next step.
|
 |
Once the Properties window
opens, select the "Networking"
tab. And then select the "Settings"
button.
|
 |
| In the "PPP
Settings" window, make sure that
"Enable Software Compression "
is the only item with a checkmark in it's box. Once you have verified
this, click the "OK"
button.
|
 |
Make sure that only "Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)" and "Client for Microsoft Networks"
have checkmarks next to them. Next, highlight the "Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)" item and click on the "Properties"
button.
|
 |
|
Since FamilySmart and ACTLink dynamically assigns
IP address's when you dial up, "Obtain
an IP address automatically" should
be selected in the top section. Below, you will need to specify id the
DNS section "Obtain
an IP address automatically" as well.
Once those settings have been entered, click "OK"
to exit the settings. Your Dial-Up Networking is now configured to
connect to FamilySmart.
|
 |
NOTE:
Make absolutely sure that File and Printer Sharing is UNCHECKED,
as it can cause some security issues to arise by allowing other people
on the internet access to your files in your computer. |
