Login Script

Specifics

Use the OPEN button to select a pre-existing Login Script file. Your Access Provider may supply this file or you may follow the guidelines below  to create one. If you are familiar with Login Scripts, you may type the instructions directly into the text window supplied.

If you do not have one, then you can connect to the your Access Provider manually but the client machines will not be able to invoke the Dial on Demand feature included with the host software.

If you are using Internet Anywhere Proxy Server with a dial-up modem connection to your Internet Service Provider, you can configure IAPS to dial your service provider whenever anyone on your LAN attempts to connect to a site on the Internet. IAPS will also drop the line when nobody is connected to the Internet. This feature will only work if you have successfully configured a Login Script.

Writing a Login Script

You need to WRITE THE LOGIN SCRIPT (using the Dial-Up Scripting application) your computer uses to automatically connect to your access provider.

a)  You must have previously created a Dial-Up Connection, as outlined in Step 4 of the  Installing and Configuring the Microsoft TCP/IP Stack on Windows 95 section of the Startup Guide.

b)  Run the Dial-Up Scripting application (click on the Start button, click on Programs, click

on Accessories, and click on Dial-Up Scripting Tool)  .

c)  Enter a file name for your script in the File Name edit field.  It is a good idea to give your

file the extension .SCP (the default extension for scripts used by the Dial-Up Scripting

Application).

d)  Click on the Edit button.  When a message box appears asking you if you want to create

the file, click on Yes.

e)  When the Notepad application appears, you can begin writing the script.  Instructions for

creating a login script for Windows 95 are available in the online help of the Dial-Up

Scripting application.  Click on the Help button in the Dial-Up Scripting application window

for assistance.

f)  Save the script and exit the Notepad application.

g)  Return to the Dial-Up Scripting application and click on the Apply button, then click on

Close.

Finishing Up

Test the script by starting your dial-up connection using Dial-Up Networking application.  If you've completed the script successfully, the connection should work without any error messages.  Now the Dial-Up Networking application will connect to your access provider without requiring a manual login procedure.  If you get error messages, the script is not sending or waiting for the proper information.  To edit the script again, return to the Dial-Up Scripting application and click on the Edit button.

Click <OK > to return to the Login ID and Password screen.

TCP/IP Information

To install TCP/IP for the Network card in your Internet Anywhere Proxy Server PC under Windows 95, follow the steps below.

1. Install the TCP/IP protocol for your Network Card

Run Control Panel and select the ‘Network’ option.

Highlight your Network card in the list of network components and click ‘Add..’.

Select ‘Protocol’ to add a new protocol for your Network card and click ‘Add…’.

Under the ‘Manufacturer’ list, select Microsoft, and select TCP/IP from the ‘Network Protocols’ list.

Click OK to install TCP/IP.

2. Configure the Properties for TCP/IP

IP Address and Subnet Mask:

Highlight the newly installed protocol.(shown as ’TCP/IP -> Your network adapter name’) and click ‘Properties’ to configure the protocol.

Under the ‘IP Address’ tab, select the ‘Specify IP address’ option and enter 192.168.0.1 for the IP Address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. (This assumes that you are using the private, class C, IP address space of 192.168.0, which we recommend).

DNS configuration

Select the ‘DNS configuration’ tab and select the ‘Enable DNS’ option

Enter ‘gateway’ for the host name and leave the domain name blank.

Add the name of one or more domain name servers under the DNS Server Search Order section. This should be the IP address of the domain name servers belonging to your Internet Service Provider.

Other options

Ensure that there are no entries listed under the ‘installed gateways’ option in the ‘

Gateways’ tab. You should leave all other options for TCP/IP at their default settings.

Click OK to save the settings, and click OK to close the Network settings dialog. You may be prompted to enter your Windows 95 CD-ROM or installation disks, so that Windows can install the necessary components for TCP/IP.

Restarting your computer will complete the installation. Installing TCP/IP under Windows NT is a very similar process (if fact the process should be identical under Windows NT 4.0).

Because most Internet applications use the TCP/IP protocol to talk to the Internet, you must install TCP/IP on each of the machines on your LAN that you wish to provide Internet access to, and give each machine it’s own, unique IP address. The IP addresses you assign do not need to be registered with InterNIC because at no time is any machine on your LAN connected directly to the Internet.  Using the configuration settings specified above your host machine would be identified as 192.168.0.1 and your other machines would follow the numbering scheme of 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 etc.
