Windows NT - Configuring network protocol

 

Right click on your Network Neighborhood. Select (highlight)Properties.
Click on the Services tab. Select the Add button.

Clicking on the "Add" button brings you to the "Select Network Service" window. Highlight "Remote Access Service." Click the "OK" button.

After you complete step 2, insert the NT 4.0 CD into your computer. The setup will require that it is pointing to the I386 directory. Click "Continue."

If there is no modem installed, you will be prompted to add a modem device to your machine.

You will be asked if you want the RAS installer to invoke the "modem installer" to install a modem and, depending on your response, you will be presented with various modem installation options as described below.

Selecting "Yes" will invoke the "Install New Modem" installer. See below.

  • Note: If you invoke the modem installer, your modem must be attached and turned on!
  • Selecting "No" will allow you to manually install your modem through the "Add RAS Device" window. See below.

    - Installing a modem using modem installer

    If your modem is plug and play, RAS should properly detect the modem. At the "Install New Modem," window click "next."

    The "Install New Modem" window will display your modem in the COM port field. If this is not your modem, or if it does not detect a modem, click on the Change button and select the correct modem. Click "next," if this is your modem or when you have selected the correct modem.
    Click on finish. You have completed the installation of your modem (Congratulations!!!)

    - Installing a modem manually

    If you are going to manually setup your modem, or do not currently have a modem attached, the "Add RAS Device" window will appear.

    Click on the "Install Modem" button. Check "don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list."

    The "Install New modem" window will appear. Select the correct manufacturer and model of the modem you have connected or are going to connect. Then click on the "Next" button.

    The "Install New Modem" window will appear. The correct modem should already be selected. Highlight the correct COM port that the device is attached to or will be attached to and click on the "next" button.

    The "Install New Modem" will convert to "Your modem has been set up successfully." Click on the "Finish" button to complete your installation.

    You are now ready to continue installing your NT 4.0 RAS.

    If your modem is correctly installed, the "Add RAS Device" window will appear. The correct COM port and type of modem you installed will be selected (If not, go back to step 5.) Click "OK."

    After you have properly installed your modem, you will be at the window labeled "Remote Access Setup". Click on Continue.
     
    Remote Access Service will be displayed under Network/Services.
     
    You are now ready to configure NT 4.0 RAS setup.
