NT 4.0 Dial-Up Networking Installation
Please
note: Before you begin,
ensure that you have your Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM or diskettes
available and ready for installation.· There are multiple
options available with Windows NT 4.0 DUN-this reference guide
will show you a proven and reliable method for connecting to
the Zamnet network via a modem on Windows NT 4.0. These
instructions assume that your hardware is functioning
properly. Consult Windows NT help (go to Start then Help),
manuals, or technical support available to you (e.g., from
your PC hardware vendor) for information not covered in this
guide.

modem from a list or use a disk provided by the
manufacturer. You may need to follow the directions in
your modem's documentation.

- Once

asking for your Username. Enter in your username and your
password. Leave "Domain" field blank and
click OK.

- A
window will appear asking if you would like to close on
dial. This closes the Dial-Up Networking window
automatically after the connection has been made, hiding
the connection from your screen. You may choose this, but
if you do not check the box that says do not display this
message again, you will get the same message every time
you dial up. During your DUN session Windows NT places a
small icon on the Start menu bar opposite the Start button
(typically on the lower right side of your screen). This
icon opens up a networking monitor, which from there you
may hang-up your connection or just check out how your
connection is running. You may also hang up your
connection by simply opening the Dial-Up Networking window
(double-clicking the icon in My Computer) and clicking
hang-up.
- If
you have problems connecting with a DUN session you
have defined and attempted to modify, you should delete
the DUN session that isn't working and start over at the
beginning of this reference guide. That way, you can
define a new DUN session and you will be working with a
known set of defaults.
