From below select the operating system on which the OrbitNet application
will be installed :-
NOTE: If using Windows NT 4.0, you must have Service Pack 3 or higher
installed on your system.
Windows
95 TCP/IP Setup
1. Click on Control Panel -> Network. Under the Configuration
tab, click on your "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft
-> TCP/IP -> OK.
** To add NetBEUI to this network card, click on your "LAN
Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> NetBEUI -> OK.
** LAN Adapter means the network card on the OrbitNet computer
to which you will specify a non-routable IP address for the
OrbitNet
application.
2. Under the Configuration tab check to see if you have installed
TCP. It will be in the format of "TCP/IP -> LAN Adapter".
If TCP is not there for the LAN adapter, then click on "LAN Adapter"
-> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP -> OK.
3. Once you have done this, click on "TCP/IP for the LAN
Adapter" -> Properties.
- Under the IP Address tab, select "Specify an IP address" and
enter in a non-routalbe IP address with a subnet mask.
- Under the DNS tab, select "Enable DNS".
Host: Enter in the name assigned
to the OrbitNet computer. The name is available from
Control Panel -> Network -> Identification. Avoid punctuation
marks. |
Domain: Enter your local domain
name. The domain name can be your ISP's domain name,
but it is better to use our own. Feel free to make one
up (e.g. fred.com, suzie.org). The name does not need
to be officially listed with any Internet bodies- since it
is on your local, private network. It is invisible to
the rest of the world. All of your computers should
have the same domain name, and because of the way DNS lookups
are made it is best if you have a .com or other standard domain
name on the end. |
DNS Server Search Order: Enter
in the internal IP address of OrbitNet followed by the DNS
numbers of your ISP. The IP address(es) of your ISP's
DNS servers are often given as the primary and secondary DNS
servers. You will use the IP address of the primary
DNS in the Properties Wizard. As a last resort, if you
know the domain name but not the IP addresses of your ISP's
DNS servers (and can not obtain them), OrbitNet can find the
IP addresses. In OrbitNet, click on File -> Advanced
Properties -> Protocols -> DNS Setup -> Find_My_Name_Server!! |
4. Click OK -> OK, then reboot/restart your operating
system.
