Configuring Windows Millennium Native Dialer And TCP/IP Stack

Step 1: Install the Dialup Networking

Note: Most machines will come with this already installed. An easy way to check is to click on START >> SETTINGS and see if Dialup Networking is listed. If it is listed, skip to Step 2, otherwise proceed with the following steps:

1. Have the Windows Millennium CD in the drive or the diskettes close at hand.
2. Click on START >> SETTINGS >> CONTROL PANEL.
3. Double-click on ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
4. Click on the WINDOWS SETUP tab.
5. Click on COMMUNICATIONS, then DETAILS.
6. Check the checkbox that says DIAL-UP NETWORKING.
7. Click OK on all the menus back to the Control Panel.
8. Windows Millennium will then install Dialup Networking.

Step 2: Setup TCP/IP

1. Click on START >> SETTINGS >> CONTROL PANEL.
2. Double-click on NETWORK.
3. Look in the box labeled 'The Following Network Components are Installed'. Check to see if you have either "TCP/IP" or "TCP/IP - Dial Up Adapter" already listed in the box only once. If you do, you can skip to Step 3. If there is no listing of "TCP/IP" or it does not have one installed for Dialup Adapter, proceed.
      Note: A very common bug is to have TCP/IP installed more than once. If you have done this, remove all TCP/IP entries. You remove an entry by highlighting it and hitting the 'Remove' button. Once all TCP/IP entries have been deleted, add a single one.
4. Click on ADD, then PROTOCOL, and then ADD.
5. Select MICROSOFT as the manufacturer, then TCP/IP as the protocol.
6. Click OK on all the menus back to the Control Panel.
7. Windows Millennium will then add TCP/IP.
      Note: You might be asked to provide computer and workgroup names at this point. If so, click on the identification tab at the top of the screen, type in your last name for the computer name, 'workgroup' for workgroup, and 'computer' for computer description. Then hit OK.

Step 3: Create Dialer Icon

1. Go to START >> SETTINGS >> Dialup Networking.
2. If no previous connection has been created then the system will go right into then MAKE NEW CONNECTION option, if it does not then double-click this option.
3. In the box at the top type 'Green Apple' in place of the words 'My Connection'. Hit Next.
4. Depending on your location, use one of the following dial-in numbers:
            Lancaster: 654-2133 (and surrounding areas)
            Columbus: 834-5124
5. Hit Finish.

Step 4: Setup the Connection Properties

1. Click on the Green Apple Icon with the right mouse button and select 'Properties'.
2. Remove checkmark from 'Use country code and area code'.
3. Hit 'Configure' button.
4. Set Maximum Speed to:
      57600 if you have 14.4Kbs modem
      115200 if you have 28.8Kbs modem or better
5. Hit 'OK' button.
6. Click the 'Networking' tab at top.

       [x] This is the default internet connection
       [ ] Never dial a connection

       [ ] Don't prompt before disconnecting
19. [ ] Disconnect when connection may not be needed
20. Hit the 'OK' button.

The connection properties are now set and you are ready to attempt a login. To make things easier, you might want to create a shortcut for your Green Apple icon and place it on your desktop. To do this, right click on the Green Apple icon and select "Create shortcut". Hit YES to the window that opens.

If you need to get to these properties later on, you can double-click on the Green Apple icon or shortcut and hit the 'Properties' button at the bottom.

Logging onto Green Apple

Double-click on the Green Apple icon that is in 'Start >> Settings >> Dialup Networking' (or use a shortcut, if you have created one). If you entered your user name and password while setting up the Green Apple icon, the information should already be entered in the correct boxes. If not, type in your login name and password (remember, both login name and password are case sensitive). You may put a checkmark in the 'Save password' box.

If this is your first time connecting, hit 'Dial Properties' button. If you have call waiting and Ameritech is your carrier, put a checkmark beside 'This location has call waiting' and in the box labeled 'To disable it, dial:', put '*70,'.

If you have call waiting and Verizon (GTE) is your carrier, you will need to check with them to find out how you disable call waiting on single call basis (Verizon doesn't seem to have standardized on call waiting disablement feature in this area: some places will use '#70,', others cannot be disabled whatsoever).

On the line labeled 'The phone system at this location uses:', place a dot beside 'Tone dialing' if you have tone dialing feature; otherwise place a dot beside 'Pulse dialing' if you have pulse dialing feature. Hit 'OK'.

If you find that the 'Dial Properties' button is grayed out, hit the 'Properties' button below and check 'Use area code and dialing properties'.

Hit 'Connect' button. This will dialup to Green Apple.

Once the modems connect, the message 'Verifying user name and password' will appear. If everything has been setup correctly and your login name and password have been entered correctly, the dial window will minimize and an icon will appear on the start bar near the clock. Your connection to the Internet is up and working! You may now start one of your Internet applications such as Netscape Navigator or the Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Regarding Internet Explorer, Windows Millennium machines will have an icon resembling a blue lowercase letter 'e' that reads 'The Internet'). This is the icon for the IE. When you have connected, double-click on this icon to start IE. If there is no such icon on your desktop, check for the application 'Internet Explorer' in 'Start >> Programs', 'Start >> Programs >> Internet Explorer' or 'Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Internet Tools'.

When you are finished with your Internet session, close all your Internet applications, double-click on the icon near the clock and hit the 'Disconnect' button.
