Dial-up Networking for Windows NT 4.0

Configuring Dial-up Networking

To start Dial-Up Networking, click on the icon in the Accessories group (Start Programs Accessories Dial-Up Networking). A window will appear telling you that the phonebook is empty. Click on the OK button to add an entry. You will then see the "New Phonebook Entry" box. Click in the box next to "Entry Name" and type UCF. Then, click in the box next to 'Phone Number' and type one of the following numbers:

Main Campus

(ten digit dialing is in effect)

students: (407) 235-4201

faculty and staff: (407) 235-4220

Brevard Campus

(ten digit dialing is in effect)

(407) 636 - 9985
Daytona Campus
(904) 255 - 9906

Once you have done this, click on the "Server" tab. The following window will appear:

In the section labeled "Network Protocols", make sure that only TCP/IP is selected. Once you have done so, click on the button labeled "TCP/IP Settings." A window labeled "PPP TCP/IP Settings" should appear. In this section, make sure that "Server assigned IP address" is selected. Click on "Specify name server addresses" and put the following information into the fields:

Primary DNS: 132.170.240.15
Secondary DNS: 132.170.249.15

Make sure that the option for default gateway is enabled. When you are finished, the window should look like this:

Click the "OK" button to exit out of the "PPP TCP/IP Settings" window, which will take you back to the "New Phonebook Entry" window. Click on the "Script" tab, and the following window will appear:

Select "Pop up a terminal window" and click on the "OK" button. You will be returned to a screen that shows the name and phone number of the phonebook entry you just created. You can dial into the system from this screen.

Connecting to the Terminal Server

To dial into the system, go to Dial-Up Networking (Start Programs Accessories Dial-Up Networking). If UCF is your only phonebook entry, then a dialing window will be brought up with the information to connect to UCF already in it. Click on the 'Dial' button to call the terminal server. A small window will appear asking you to enter a username and password. You do not need to do so here; click on the 'OK' button to close the window. The modem will dial, and after it connects an After Dial Terminal window will appear, with a prompt asking for your 'Username'. Enter your login id for Pegasus and press ENTER. The next prompt will ask you for your 'Password:'. Enter in your password for your Pegasus account and press ENTER. At this point, you will see a prompt similar to as5100-xx>. Type in 'ppp' and press ENTER. You will then see something similar to the following messages:

Entering PPP mode.
Async interface address is unnumbered (Ethernet0)
Your IP address is 132.170.24.157. MTU is 1500 bytes

At this point, click on the 'Done' button at the bottom of the After Dial Terminal window. The system will say it is verifying your username and password and then will display a window telling you that you have successfully connected.

Now that your connection is established you can open your TCP/IP applications, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.

If you wish to log on to Pegasus, click on Start, then Run. When the window opens, type the following:

telnet pegasus.cc.ucf.edu

Then click on the 'OK' button. After a few seconds, a login prompt will appear where you can type your pegasus login name. For more information on using Pegasus Pine, see the E-mail Basics section of this CD-ROM.

To disconnect from the system, go back to Dial-Up Networking. You should see a window that has the UCF phonebook entry information. There is a 'Hang Up' button at the bottom of the window; click on that button and you will be disconnected.
