Windows 95/98/ME Settings

1. Double-click 'My Computer'.
(In Win ME you will need to double click 'Control Panel' first to get to 'Dial-Up Networking'.)

2. Double-click 'Dial-Up Networking'.

3. Click 'WorldPath' with the right mouse button.
NOTE: This icon may have different names or there may be many icons here. You
may/should need to go into the connection properties of Internet Explorer and determine
which connectoid you are using prior to editing.



4. Click 'Properties' to get to this screen.



NOTE: In most cases this screen will be ok, but you should double check the phone
number you are dialing (Choose the number local for you. Check our Phone Numbers page
if you are unsure what number to dial). Some people in state may experience dialing problems
because of the check mark in the box for "Use country code and area code" (Or "Use area code and
Dialing Properties") so you may need to remove it.

If you have changed to the correct phone number, and do not want to check your other dial-up
settings, click "OK" now. If you would like to continue checking settings, continue to step 5.


5. Click 'Server Type' to get this screen.
NOTE: Server Type will be a tab at the top in Windows 98 and Windows 95B. For Win ME,
you'll need to click on the 'Networking' tab.



6. Confirm that 'Enable software compression' and 'TCP/IP' are the only options checked, and that
'Type of Dial-Up Server' is 'PPP: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet'

7. Click 'TCP/IP Settings'.

8. Check 'Server assigned IP address' and 'Specify name server addresses', Enter 'Primary DNS' and
'Secondary DNS' for domain (WorldPath shown/LRNet Primary 64.140.192.60 Secondary 64.140.193.60). Ensure 'Use IP header compression' and 'Use default gateway on remote network' are checked.

9. Click 'OK'.



10. Click 'OK' again.



11. Click 'OK' again.

12. Close the 'Dial-Up Networking' and 'My Computer' windows.

Click ADD and then double-click Protocols and then click Microsoft under Manufacturers then double-click
TCP/IP under Protocol to add it.
