Windows 98 Setup Instructions


1. Set Up a Dial-Up Networking Connection.

1.  Click on "My Computer"
2.  Click on "Dial-Up Networking

If this is your first time to Dial-Up Networking, a "wizard" will start, and ask a few simple questions.  Use these instructions as a guide to answer those questions.  If it doesn't work, start over at step #1.

3. You should see only 1 icon:  "Make New Connection" (If you have any unwanted or non-working icons, just RIGHT-Click on each, click "Delete," and click "Yes")
4. Double-click on "Make New Connection."
5. Type a name for the computer you are dialing -- "Show-Me Net"
6. Enter the area code "573" and phone number. DO NOT CALL LONG DISTANCE!

Benton  545-3922

7. Click "Finish."

2. Fine Tune the Connection.

1.  RIGHT-Click on Show-Me Net's icon in Dial-Up Networking.
2.  Left Click on "Properties" 
The ONLY changes or additions necessary are:
-- REMOVE the check mark in the box next to:  "Use area code and dialing properties."
-- Verify that the "Connect using:" box lists your modem.  If in doubt, assume it is correct. 
-- NEVER click on the "Configure:" button and change anything!

3. Enter Your User Name & Password

1. DOUBLE-click the Show-Me Net icon in Dial-Up Networking.
2. Enter your User ID in the "User name" field.  USE ALL LOWER CASE LETTERS!
3.  Enter your password in the "Password" field.  CAPITALIZATION IS IMPORTANT


Show-Me Net should work if you do not change any other settings.  If your connection does not work, delete the Show-Me Net icon and set it up again.  Just click on "Make New Connection" and answer the questions.  If it still doesn't work, ask a computer knowledgeable friend for help, or call Show-Me Net's Help Desk, 204-1097.
