The following instructions detail how to access the Internet from a home PC (running Windows 95/NT) via the office LAN (local area network):
| Requirements |
The office PC must satisfy the following requirements:
-Windows 95/NT must be installed.
-'Dial-Up Networking Server' from Microsoft Plus! must be installed if using Windows 95, (Windows NT already comes with a dial-up networking server).
-RideWay must be installed.
-The office LAN must be connected to the Internet without going through a proxy (please verify with your network administrator).
-A modem must be installed on the PC.
| Step #1: "Setting the Office PC's Network Configuration." |
| -From the Control Panel, double click on the 'Network' icon.
-Locate and highlight the 'TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter' component, (This component will only show up if both a network adapter card and a modem are installed). -Click on the 'Properties' Button. -Click on 'IP Address'. -Click on 'Specify an IP Address' from the 'IP Address' Tab. -In the IP Address Box, input an address such as '192.168.1.1' -In the Subnet Mask Box, Enter "255.255.255.0" -For the 'DNS Configuration', 'WINS Configuration', 'Advanced', 'Bindings' tabs, all the settings should be the same as those currently set for the office LAN connection (Go to the 'TCP/IP -> your network adapter card' component to verify these settings). Leave your 'Gateway' settings blank. -Restart Windows 95 |
Step #2: "Set up your Office PC as a Dial-Up Networking Server."
Note: Step 2 requires that the 'Dial-Up Networking Server' be installed on this office PC.
-From the 'Start->Programs->Accessories->Dial-Up Networking' window, go to the 'Connections' menu's 'Dial-Up Server' option, check 'Allow caller access'.
-If you want to assign a password so that only those who know the password can dial into this PC, click on 'change password'.
-Click on 'Server Type' and for the 'Type of Dial-Up Server' box, select 'PPP: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet'.
-Under 'Advanced Options', please check 'Enable Software Compression'. Click on 'Apply'.
Step #3: "Configuring RideWay for the Office PC."
-Start RideWay.
-From the 'Server' menu, click on 'Start'.
-When prompted with the message: 'Your Dial-Up Networking is not connected. Can your computer access the Internet via a LAN?', click on 'Yes'.
-When prompted with the message: "Please specify the port number and DNS Server for RideWay's SOCKS proxy server", click on 'OK'.
Note: The following segment within this step is optional for RideWay Version 1.3
-Locate the 'Server Control Dialog Box'.
-Under 'DNS Servers', enter the IP address for the DNS Server for the office (go to 'control panel->network->DNS configuration tab ->DNS Server Search Order' to locate this DNS address).
-Click on 'Add' and then click on 'OK'.
-The 'RideWay' window should now indicate that 'RideWay Server is running'.
| Step #4: "Setting the Home PC's Network Configuration." |
| -From the Control Panel, double click on the 'Network' icon.
-Locate and highlight the 'TCP/IP->(Dial-Up Adapter)' component. |
| Note: If there is no network adapter card installed on the Client PC, then you may locate and highlight the 'TCP/IP' component. |
| -Click on the 'Properties' Button.
-Click on 'IP Address'. -Click on 'Specify an IP Address' from the 'IP Address' Tab. -In the IP Address Box, input an address such as '192.168.1.2'. The first 3 numbers of this IP address (192, 168, 1 in this case) must match the first 3 numbers of the IP address entered in Step 1. The last number must be different. -In the Subnet Mask Box, Enter "255.255.255.0" -From the 'DNS Configuration' tab, set the 'DNS Search Order' to the IP address entered in Step 1 (i.e. 192.168.1.1). -Restart Windows. |
Step #5: "Make a New Connection for the Home PC's Dial-Up Networking."
-From the 'Start->Programs->Accessories->Dial-Up Networking' window, click on 'Make New Connection'.
-For the message 'Type a name for the computer you are dialing', enter any name (i.e. DGL Server).
-From the 'Select a Modem' option, please select the modem you wish to use.
-From the 'Configure' button, you may un-check all the boxes.
-Click on 'Next' and enter the 'area code' and 'telephone number' for the analog telephone line attached to the office PC.
-Click on 'Finish'.
Step #6: "Setup a New Connection for the Client PC's Dial-Up Networking."
-With the mouse, "right-click" on the entry (i.e. DGL Server) you just made (step 4).
-From the 'properties' option, select 'Server Type'. For 'Type of Dial-Up Server', select 'PPP: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet'.
-For 'Advanced Options', check 'Enable Software Compression'.
-For 'Allowed Network Protocols', check 'TCP/IP'.
-Click on the 'TCP/IP' button.
-Click on the 'TCP/IP Settings' button and specify '192.168.1.2' (from Step 4)from for the 'IP address' box and specify '192.168.1.1 (from Step 1) for the 'Primary DNS' box.
-Check the box 'Use IP header compression'.
Step #7: "Setup the Proxy for your favorite applications."
* "SOCKS host" or "Firewall host": 192.168.1.1 (from Step 1).
* "Port": 1080
You should now be able to dial into the office PC and connect to the Internet from your home PC by clicking on the entry (from Dial-Up Networking) which you created in Step 5.
