Network connection

Menu options: 'System', 'Network connections'

Important:

D-basics uses the Dialup networking functionality of Windows to establish dial-up connections. Dial-up Networking must be configured properly before a dial-up connection can be made.

To create a new network connection, open the window 'Network connections' and push the 'Add' button, this will open the window 'Network connection'.

Enter the following information to complete the configuration of the network connection:

•

Name

Enter a name for the connection. Since more than one dial-up connection can be used, it is recommended to choose a name by which the receiving party can easily be identified.

•

Type

Since it is only possible to use RAS (Remote Access Service) this setting can be ignored.

•

Auto dial

Check this checkbox in case Auto-dial must be enabled. This allows d-basics to connect without acknowledgement.

•	Connection

Select the Dialup Networking connection that d-basics must use to establish a connection.

•	Credentials network

In case the dial-up connection is used for sending e-mail, the credentials for logging on to a domain should not be entered. To log on to another network / domain:

•	Check the checkbox to the Logon to the network / domain

•	Enter the server name or IP address of the computer to which a connection must be made

•	Enter the domain name

•	Enter the user name (of a user that is allowed to make a connection using dial-up networking

•	Enter the password

Remarks:

•	The information needed to logon to a different domain can be provided by the administrator of that domain.

•	Windows 95, 98 and ME do not support simultaneous logon's with different user accounts. In case of these operating systems it is required to logoff from a domain before logging on to another through a dial-up connection is possible.
