These instructions
assume your modem is properly installed and configured. See information provided
by the modem manufacturer for instructions for installing the modem.
If you are using
an Internet Service provider for dialup and want to use the Home Directory
service you should follow the ISP's instructions for initially setting up
the connection, then choose Properties from the dialin login window and make
the changes indicated in the advanced configuration
below.
Windows XP
has multiple methods for reaching dialup settings, and your screen shots may
vary slightly from those shown below because XP allows users to customize
screen settings.
Start the "New
Connection Wizard" from the start menu -
Start:All
Programs:Accessories:Communications:New Connection Wizard
Click Next
and the 'Getting Ready screen will appear:
Chose the radio
button next to Set up my connection manually and click Next to see
the Internet Connection window.
Select "Connect
using a dial-up modem and Click Next to get the Connection Name window
For the ISP
name click in the box and enter the name you want to see for the icon for
the connection, in this example we use the UVA56K name. Click Next
to continue.
Enter
the phone number as you want it to be dialed (including any area code or #70
to turn off call waiting choices required for your connection. Choose Next
to continue when done.
If multiple
unrelated users are sharing a connection you may want to make this setting
'My use only', but if every user of the system is allowed to use this dialup
select Anyone's use. Then click Next.
The Internet
Account Information window options are left blank - doing this means you will
need to provide your id and password every time you connect. If you want to
make your connection less secure you can fill in and save the user name and
password information. Turning on Internet Connection Firewall is most likely
appropriate for most users, but users using a VPN (like an Oracle connection)
may find that it will not work with Internet Connection Firewall selected.
Click Next
In the 'finish'
screen you can add a shortcut to this connection to your desktop. You may
want to do that, if not, you can reach the connection through the start menu.
Click Finish (but you may not really done.) If you are going to use
the Home Directory service continue with the Advanced
configuration below.
If all you use
the dialup connection for is email and web access then the connections defined
this way will probably work just fine without additional setup. To start a
dialup session go to the Start, Connect To, and choose the connection you
want to use.
Choosing the
connection from the menu will bring a login screen that will take your Dialup
Networking ID and password and will make your modem dial in to get your connection.
Advanced
configuration
If you have
problems connecting, or if you plan to use the Home Directory service via
your dialup connection, the following steps may be required to force appropriate
settings.
Go to Start,
Connect to, UVA56K (or what ever you named the connection) and right-click
to get the menu to choose properties - left click on Properties.
The Properites
window will looks similar to the following:
The "Connect
Using" box should have the name of your modem.
If you understand
the use of dialing rules feel free to use them, otherwise uncheck the 'Use
dialing rules' box and put the full number, as you want it dialed, in the
"Phone number" box. You can use the "Alternates" button
to provide numbers which should be tried if the first one fails to connect.
Choose the "Options"
tab.
Your settings
on the Options tab should be the same as above, in particular be sure "Include
Windows logon domain" MUST NOT be checked or your user name will be sent
incorrectly for logon. Redial attemps are optional.
Next choose
the Security tab
Your securities
settings should look like those above to connect to the UVA dialup.
Select the Networking
tab
Advanced
users may want to change some of the settings to be different than those above,
but ingeneral the screen should match the one above. Note: for Home Directory
users - Client for Microsoft Networks MUST BE CHECKED. (If you scroll
through the screen 'This connection uses the following items, no additional
items need to be checked.)
Click
on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) line and then click on the 'Properties'
button on the Network properties window.
If
you have previously set up any network connections on this system some of
the settings on the TCP/IP properties window may be different (and this window
may change with later changes we will make.) The Obtain and IP address automatically
is mandatory. Click on the Advanced button, then click on the "DNS"
tab for the Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
Click
on the Add button below the DNS Server address window - a window will pop
up - add 128.143.2.7 and 128.143.22.119. Only 2 can be specified so if you
make an error select the wrong entry and click on remove.
Select
the Append these DNS suffix and click add and add virginia.edu (this lets
you leave off the virginia.edu part of host names when you specify them in
other programs)
If
you use the Home directory service, click on the WINS tab to bring up the
WINS setting window. Intitially it is unlikely to look like the one below.
Home
Directory users MUST click in the Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP button. The WINS
server settings should not be necessary for Home Directory, but if you
are having difficulties, the correct servers for UVa and Home Directory
are 128.143.3.199 and 128.143.22.189.
If you use a WINS server (ESERVICES users and some HSC users) on the WINS
tab and add the appropriate WINS server information. Contact your server administrator
for the correct WINS settings for your domain. (Those given above are for
the ESERVICES domain.)
When
finished click OK, you will be taken back to the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Properties" window, some information may be filled in for you.
From this window
click OK to get back to the main network connection properties window, and
OK again on that window to exit the configuration. Then you should be able
to retry your connection.

difficulties following these directions or need any other help getting your
connection to a UVa modem, please call us at 924-3731. That's the ITC Help
Desk. Have your University Computing ID (that's your Email ID) ready and give
