Stealth Ping 2.0 (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(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 Stealth Setup(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 Stealth Setup(TM) is having problems copying files into this directory.
To recover from this error hit OK to acknowledge the dialog box, and run Stealth Setup(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(TM)
will create the Icon in the Programs Folder, while Windows NT (TM) 4.0 will create it
directly within the Start Menu. Typically Stealth Ping(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
=====================
Window 95 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 1.25 Allows Up To 15 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.
I 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....
