Dialup Setup For Win NT
This document covers the information customers may need while using Windows NT 4.0 systems. Windows NT 4.0 systems have built-in communications utilities and thus do not need additional software for dialing. If you need assistance with the setup process, feel free to contact Technical Support.
NOTE: The screen shots in this document are specific to Windows NT 4.
Configuring the "Network" in Control Panel
The "Network" Control Panel controls the way your computer accesses a network. NOTE: You may need to have your Windows NT setup disks or CD-ROM available.
- Open the "Control Panel", then open the "Network" item.

- Click on the "Services" tab and ensure you have "Remote Access Service" installed. If you do not have it installed, do so by clicking on the "Add" button, otherwise click on the "Properties" button.
- The device that RAS is connected to should be your modem. If it does not appear, click on the "Add" button and add your modem to the list.

- Next click on the "Network" button and a new window should appear. In this window, select only the "TCP/IP" option and then click on "OK".
Dialup Networking
Windows NT 4.0 has its own software for dialing into networks. You can configure this software to dial into IT&E and establish your PPP session. To find out if your computer has the "Dial-Up Networking" software installed, double click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop. You should see a folder named "Dial-Up Networking".

If you do not see the folder, then you will have to install the software and you can follow the below steps to do so.
Creating a IT&E Connection
You can follow the steps below to create a connection for IT&E. On some systems, if you have never used the "Dialup Networking" feature of Windows NT 4.0, you will be prompted stating that you do not have any phonebook entries and you should click on "OK" to create one. Below is all the information for creating a connection (some users will get a window asking them in what manner they want to create a connection) so you will want to do it manually.
Logging On to IT&E
To connect to IT&E, open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and then double click the "Dial-Up Networking" icon. Make sure "IT&E" is the selected phone book entry and click on "Dial".
In the new window, type in your User Name in the "User name" field and your Password in the "Password" field. DO NOT enter anything in the "Domain" field. NOTE: All IT&E User Names should be entered in lower case characters. Your password is also lower case by default.
Once you are connected you may start the Internet application of your choice and begin surfing!
