Introduction:
There are basically
two parts to configure Windows NT to connect with Pyramid 3 Network.
1. You
must install or configure RAS from the Network Control Panel.
2. You
need to create a RAS Phone book Entry for The Diamond Lane.
Part 1: Control Panel
| Step
1: Locate the Network Control Panel |
 |
To
begin, go into your Control Panel either by double clicking on "Control
Panel" in My Computer
, on your Win 95 desk top, or through
the "Start; Settings" buttons.
In the Control
Panel, locate the "Network"
icon.
Double click the "Network"
icon to open to the Network Control Panel. |
| Step
2: Add Remote Access Service |
 |
On
the first screen of the Network Control Panel click on the "Services"
tab near the top of the window.
Now check to make sure that
the Remote Access Service is
not in the list of Network Services.
If it is listed, click on
the "Remote Access Service" entry then click
the "Properties" button and skip to Step
5.
If Remote
Access Service is not listed, then click on the "Add"
button and continue with the next step. |
| Step
3: Select Remote Access Service |
 |
In
the Select Network Services window,
scroll through the list and locate the entry for "Remote
Access Service".
Click on it, and click "OK".
You may be prompted to put your
Windows NT CD in the CD drive. |
| Step
4: Add Your Modem to RAS |
 |
After NT
copies some files, you should be prompted with the Add
RAS Device window.
All you need to do in this
window is select which modem you wish to dial into Pyramid 3 with.
In the drop down box below
the heading RAS Capable Devices, select
your modem then click "OK" to continue.
From this point forward, our
examples will show the configuration of a Standard 28800 Modem. Your modem
may be different, but the steps are the same. |
| Step
5: Setting Up RAS With Your Modem |
|
In the Remote
Access Setup window, you need to select the modem you plan to
use in the list. Here you need to click on two buttons before you're done.
First click on "Configure"
in the lower button group. (The second button click is in Step
6 below) |
| Step
6: The Configure Port Usage Window |
 |
For
most users, setting the Port Usage
setting to Dial out only will be sufficient.
Click on "OK"
to return to the window in Step 5.
Click on the "Network"
button to move to the next step. |
| Step
7: The Network Configuration Window |
 |
The
Network Configuration window controls
what network protocols are sent through your modem. When connecting with
Pyramid 3, you only need to check "TCP/IP".
Click on "OK "to return to the window pictured
in Step 5 where you should click "Continue". |
| Step
8: Restart |
You
should now be prompted to restart your computer, which you should do. When
it comes back up, you're ready to begin part 2.
|
Part 2: Dialup Networking
| Step
1: Find and Open Dial-Up Networking |
 |
After your computer
has been restarted, you are ready to add a phone book entry into Dial-Up
Networking.
Open the "My
Computer" icon on your desktop then open the Dial-Up
Networking icon.
If you have been in
Dial-Up Networking before, then the
window that appears will be like the one in Step
2a, otherwise you will get a window like the one in Step
2b. |
| Step
2a: You have Been In Dial-Up Networking
Before |
 |
If you've
been in Dial-Up Networking before,
you should see this window when you open the icon.
Click on the "New"
button and skip to Step 3. |
| Step
2b: Not Been in Dial-Up Networking Before. |
| If
this is your first time in Dial-Up Networking, this will be the first Window
you see.
Name your phone book entry
Pyramid 3 Network, and put
a check in the box below.
Click "Next" to move to
Step 3. |
|
| Step
3: Begin Editing Phone book Entry |
 |
Start
on the Basic tab in which you will
want to fill in the Entry name with
"Pyramid 3 Network".
In the "Phone
number space, type in the local Pyramid 3 Network dialup
number your were given to to use.
Click on the Server
tab and move on to the next step. Please note, it is your responsibility
to verify that the number your enter is toll free. Pyramid 3 is not
liable for any telephone charges incurred. |
| Step
4: The Server Tab |
 |
On
the Server Tab, set the Dial-up
server type to PPP:Windows NT, Windows
95 Plus, Internet.
Put a check mark in TCP/IP
only. Make sure that the bottom two checkboxes, Enable
software compression and Enable PPP LCP extensions
are checked.
Now click on the "TCP/IP
Settings" button. |
| Step
5: The TCP/IP Settings Window |
| When
the PPP TCP/IP Settings window comes
up, make sure that you have Server assigned IP
address marked as well as Specify name
server addresses.
Put the number assigned
to you that was provided by your ISP as your Primary DNS in "Primary
DNS".
Put a check in both Use
IP header compression and Use default
gateway on remote network.
Click on "OK"
to return to the window in Step 4, then click
on the Script Tab to move to the next
Step. |
 |
| Step
6: The Script Tab |
 |
On
the Script Tab, simply mark None
because no script is needed.
Next click on the "Security"
Tab. |
| Step
7: The Security Tab |
| On the Security
Tab, mark Accept any authentication including clear
text.
That's all the editing that needs
to be done here.
Click on "OK"
to save the changes and return to the window in Step
2a.
On that window, click on the
Dial button. |
 |
| Step
8: The User name and Password Screen |
 |
The
first time you try to connect with Pyramid 3 Network, this screen will
appear.
You need to enter your Pyramid
3 login name in all lower case, in the User name
field.
Enter your password in the
Password field. Leave the Domain
field blank.
You can put a check in Save
Password so that you never have to enter it again.
