Internet Settings (.ins entries) for Broadband Connections

Windows Welcome enables the configuration of a new broadband Internet account. The following settings are extensions to the existing .ini file format that enable this broadband configuration. These settings replace any similar settings described in the .ins entries for dial-up connections.

[Device]
Type = {modem, isdn, atm, pppoe}
Modem, ISDN, and ATM will bind entries to RAS
Modem and ISDN look only for [TCP/IP] header
ATM looks for [TCP/IP] and [ATM] headers
PPPOE looks for [TCP/IP] and [PPPOE] headers
Name = {friendly name of the device}
Pnpid = {Plug and Play ID of the device, or for multifunction
adapters, only the Plug and Play ID of the configured network device required}

Note

The OEM places the device name and Plug and Play ID of the broadband device on the computer before shipping it. This information is transmitted to the Internet service provider (ISP) during the end-user sign-up process. The ISP then adds these entries to the .ins file so that the sign-up process configures the correct device.

[TCP/IP]
Specify_IP_Address = {Yes for static, No for DHCP}
IP_Address = {static IP address if used}
Subnet_Mask = {IP address}
Specify_DNS_Address = {Yes if use, else No}
DNS List = {IP address},{IP address}, à
IP_Header_Compress = {Yes if used, else No}
Gateway_On_Remote = {Yes if used, else No}
Default_Gateway_List = {IP address},{IP address}, à
Domain_Name = {string},{string}, à
Host_Name = {string if used}
Domain_Suffix_Search_List = {IP address},{IP address}, à
Specify_WINS_Address = {Yes, No}
WINS_List = {IP address},{IP address}, à

[PPPoverATM]
Circuit_Speed = {flag}
0 = Line Rate
1 = User Specified
Or actual value of rate in kilobytes (512, 1536, 25000, 155000)
Circuit_QOS = {flag}
0 = UBR
1 = VBR
2 = CBR
3 = ABR
Circuit_Type = {0 if SVC, 1 if PVC}
Speed_Adjust = {Yes or No}
QOS_Adjust = {Yes or No}
Encapsulation = {flag}
0 û PPP over ATM (null encapsulation)
1 û PPP over ATM (LLC)
2 û Bridged Ethernet/802.3 (LLC/SNAP) Not defined for PPPOA
3 û Routed IPv4 (LLC/SNAP) Not defined for PPPOA
4 û Bridged Ethernet/802.3 (null encapsulation) Not defined for
PPPOA
5 û Routed IPv4 (null encapsulation) Not defined for PPPOA
VPI = {numeric value} Only for PVC
VCI = {numeric value}
Vendor_Config = {Yes or No}
Show_Status = {Yes or No}
Enable_Log = {Yes or No}

[Phone]
PhoneNumber = NSAP address if ATM, else telephone number

These are extensions to the existing .ins file format that work only in Windows Welcome.
