1. To complete the Windows NT Dial-Up Networking configuration, the Remote Access service (RAS) must be installed and configured for your modem. To confirm RAS is installed, click "Start", then "Settings", then choose "Control Panel". Double-click the "Network" icon and choose the "Services" tab.

2. If "Remote Access Service" is included in your list, you can skip to step 6. If it's not listed, you would need your Windows NT installation disk and choose the "Add..." button to install that service on your computer. Scroll down until the "Remote Access Service" option is visible and select that option. Click the "OK" button.

3. Insert your Windows NT installation disk in your CD-ROM drive when the setup box appears and click "Continue". In the "Add RAS Device" box, click the down arrow and choose the modem that is installed on your computer. Click the "OK" button.

4. When the "Remote Access Setup" box appears, select your modem from the list, then click the "Configure..." button. When the "Configure Port Usage" box opens, select the "Dial out only" option and click the "OK" button. Within the "Remote Access Setup" area click the "Network..." button. Select the option for "TCP/IP" and deselect the other options. Click the "OK" button.

5. Once the "Configure..." and "Network..." settings are completed above, select the "Continue" button to save your settings. Your system will need to be restarted in order to save these new settings. Once that is complete you can continue with Step 6.

6. Double-click "My Computer", then "Dialup_Networking". Choose the "New..." button, and the "Basic" tab. For the "Entry name" name type Newsguy. Please select a local phone number from the list, and enter that number in the "Area code" and "Phone number" fields. Check the option for "Use Telephony dialing properties". To find a local dialup number in your area, please select your location from the following menu:

7. Click the "Server" tab and choose the "PPP: Windows NT, Windows 95 Plus, Internet" option for "Dial-up server type". Check the box for "TCP/IP". Uncheck the boxes for "NetBUI" and "IPX/SPX compatible". Check the box for "Enable software compression". Uncheck the option for "Enable PPP LCP extensions".

8. Next click the "TCP/IP Settings..." button. In this area choose the "Server assigned IP address" option and "Server assigned name server addresses". Also check the "Use IP header compression" and "Use default gateway on remote network" if those are not already checked. Next click the "OK" button.

9. Click the "Script" tab and choose the "None" option. Then click the Security tab and choose the option for "Accept any authentication including clear text". Click the "OK" button. This will create a phone book entry in your "Dial-Up Networking".

10. From here, you're now ready to dialup and connect to the Internet. Click on the "My Computer" icon within your Windows NT window, and then double-click the option for "Dial-Up Networking". Click the "Dial" button. When prompted, input your Username and Password IDs exactly as they appeared in the confirmation email you received when you purchased your Newsguy account, and leave the "Domain" field blank. You can also select the option to "Save Password" for future use. Click "OK", and your modem will dial, login to Newsguy, and connect.

11. Within Windows NT, you can also set a shortcut for your Dial-Up Networking program icon, rather than referring to it within that program box. To do this, refer to the "Dial-Up Networking" program box, and drag your program icon for your dialup connection to the Windows NT screen. You will then be prompted as to whether you want to set a a shortcut. Select "Yes", and it will be defaulted with the name "Shortcut to My Connection". You can rename this by moving your mouse pointer over it, clicking on your right mouse button, and selecting the option to "Rename". You can then double-click this shortcut icon to establish your Internet connection in the future.
