Connecting to the Internet Using Full Service Network
For Microsoft Windows 95, 98 with Microsoft Exchange in Windows 95.

Requirements

To setup Dial-Up Networking the following information is needed from Full Service Network:
  • User name
  • Password
  • Access phone number
  • Required protocol
  • Host and domain name
  • DNS (Name Service) if an IP address
  • Logon procedure
Full Serice Network does provide dedicated static IP addresses to those located at 1420 Centre Ave in the Washington Plaza Apartment building. You will also need the following information:
  • Your IP address
  • Subnet mask (optional)
  • IP address for the default gateway (optional)

Setting Up the Dial-Up Adapter

To set up the Dial-Up adapter, follow these steps:
  1. Use the right mouse button to click Network Neighborhood, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
  2. Check to see if the dial-up adapter is installed. If it is not, go to step 3. If the dial-up adapter is already installed, go to step 4.
  3. Click the Add button, double-click Adapter, click Microsoft in the Manufacturer box, click Dial-Up Adapter in the Network Adapters box, then click OK.
  4. Check to see if "TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter" is installed in the network components box. If it is not, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Add button.
    2. Double-click Protocol.
    3. In the Manufacturer box, click Microsoft.
    4. In the Network Protocols box, click TCP/IP.
    5. Click OK.
  5. Click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

Setting up the Service Provider

Once you have set up the dial-up adapter, use the following steps to create a connectoid for each service provider:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, then click Dial-Up Networking.
  2. Double-click Make New Connection.
  3. Proceed through the Make New Connection Wizard to create the connectoid.
  4. Use the right mouse button to click the new connectoid, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
  5. Click Server Type. In the Allowed Network Protocols area, click the NetBEUI and IPX/SPX Compatible check boxes to clear them (unless they are required) and then click TCP/IP settings.
  6. If a static IP address is required, click Specify An IP Address and type the address.
  7. If a dynamic address is required (this is the case for most providers), click Server Assigned IP Address.
  8. If a DNS name server is provided, click Specify Name Server Address and type the appropriate address.
    9. <
  9. Click OK until you exit connectoid properties.
    10. <
To create multiple connectoids (for multiple service providers) repeat steps 1-9 for each service provider.

Microsoft does not recommend that you configure the address information using the TCP/IP Dial-Up Adapter entry in Network Properties. Properties for the Dial-Up Adapter override the per connection settings and unexpected results can occur.

If you modify the TCP/IP Dial-Up Adapter properties, you are prompted with the following dialog box:
TCP/IP Properties Information

You have asked to change TCP/IP properties for a dial-up adapter. In most cases, these properties are unique to the specific network which you are calling. For this reason, it is better to set TCP/IP properties in each connection icon which calls a network. Otherwise, properties set for the adapter will override the per-connection settings.

Connection icons can be found in the Dial-Up networking folder under Start Accessories. Right click an icon to see its properties sheet; select Server Type, and then TCP/IP settings.

Setting up Internet Mail

To use Internet mail with Microsoft Exchange you must install Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. You set host names for Internet mail services in the Internet Mail profile. To set up the Internet Mail profile, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Mail And Fax.
  3. Click Add, click Internet Mail, and then click OK.
  4. Add Personal Address Book and Personal Folders to the profile. You can combine the files with existing PST and PAB folders, or you can rename them and place them where you want them.
  5. When Internet Mail, Personal Address Book, and Personal Folders are included in the profile, click Internet Mail and then click Properties.
  6. On the General tab, modify the settings for the connection. Make sure that all the necessary information is included. The Domain Server Name (DNS) information is required for most service provider mail connections. This is placed under Mailbox Information in the Internet Mail Server box.
