- StealthPing 3.0 (TM) Installation Instructions:
-
- Before you install, extract all files into a temporary directory using WinZip(TM) or other archive
- extraction tool. Do not install the program directly out of WinZip.
-
- StealthSetup(TM) Can Be Run From either a Windows 95/98(TM) or Windows 4.0(TM) MS DOS box, or
- from Start using run, or from the Windows Explorer. If your running from a dos
- prompt, be sure to cd to the directory where StealthSetup.exe is located.
- Then type StealthSetup.exe <Enter>
-
- After you start StealthSetup(TM) a dialog box will appear with the default directory
- C:\STEALTHPING. You can except this directory by simple clicking on the OK Button, or
- you can type in a directory of your own choosing by selecting the edit control with your
- mouse. If you type a directory that can't be created, you will get an error dialog box
- that indicates that StealthSetup(TM) is having problems copying files into this directory.
- To recover from this error hit OK to acknowledge the dialog box, and run StealthSetup(TM)
- again. The next time, be sure to select a directory that can be created on an existing
- drive.
-
- Shortcuts will be created on the Desktop and within the Start Button Menu. Windows 95/98(TM)
- will create the Icon in the Programs Folder, while Windows NT (TM) 4.0 will create it
- directly within the Start Menu. Typically StealthPing(TM) is usually the first thing
- that you start running after you connect to your ISP, so we tried to cut the mouse clicks
- down to the minimum.
-

- Minimium Requirements
- =====================
-
- Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0
- A Modem Connection To The Internet
- SLIP/PPP (This Is The Internet Connection Software That Comes With Window 95 And Windows NT 4.0)
-
- Using StealthPing
- =================
-
- To Start StealthPing click on the StealthPing Icon either on the Desktop or in
- the Start Menu. The StealthPing Dialog Box will then appear in front of you.
- StealthPing is most effective when it is used in the Stealth mode. To use
- StealthPing in Stealth mode, DO NOT move the Slider Control, simply Mouse Click
- the Start Button and then minimize the Dialog Box. StealthPing is most effective
- in keeping a PPP/SLIP Connection alive when it is used in Stealth mode. Also,
- it is least likely to be detected by PING sensor software on the other side of
- the PPP/SLIP Connection. (Version 3.0 Allows Up To 25 Clicks Of The Start Button)
-
- Besides StealthMode(TM), StealthPing can be set to PING at a period rate by
- moving the Slider Control. The slowest ping rate is 15 seconds and the fastest
- rate is 100 seconds. If you set the ping rate on 15 seconds, you can look at
- the SD light on your modem and you will notice that a packet is sent every 15
- seconds.
-
- You can also move the slider to the other settings, 20, 40, 60, etc. These
- settings are close but not exact, however the granularity of the slider is 1
- second, so it is possible to get 21,22,23 seconds etc., by experimenting. If
- you move the Slider all the way over to the left the ping rate will be returned
- to Stealth mode. Note - even after you have pressed Start it is still possible
- to change the Ping Rate by simply moving the slider to the desired rate.
-
- If you are running StealthPing using a periodic rate, instead of Stealth mode
- and you find that your PPP/SLIP connection is timing you out, move the Slider
- all the way to the left and try running it in Stealth mode.
-
- To manipulate the Slider Control's via the keyboard, press the Tab Key, until
- the Slider is activated. After the slider is activated the following keys will
- manipulate the slider: (Arrow Keys,)(PgDn, PgUp,) (End, Home.) After you have
- selected the desired rate, Tab over to the Start Button and press Enter. Start
- must be clicked before StealthPing will start to work. Note - The simplest
- operation is with the mouse, but the keyboard option is there for your
- convenience.
-
- UnInstalling StealthPing
- =================
- The simplest means to UnInstall StealthPing is to Start Windows NT Explorer or
- Windows Explorer and use it to find the StealthPing Directory and all of the
- StealthPing Shortcuts. Simply click on My Computer, so you are at the this
- level of the hierarchy. Go to the Tools Menu and select Find/Files or Folders.
- Enter StealthPing, so that all instances of directories and shortcuts will be
- found. Select each instance that is located and use the Files/Delete
- Menu to eliminate these files.
-
- We had a lot of fun writing StealthPing and when I connect to my PPP connection,
- the first thing I do is start StealthPing. At that point I can stay connected
- for hours of hassle free surfing....
