Problem with Internet Dialer

Hi! Back again. I am running 486, WIN95. I used Internet Wizard to set up the dialer for the service provider. I had to install the TCP/IP. I have the PPP: etc. Win95 checked. I followed some directions for setting it up for WIN95.
I get past the dial tone, connect sounds and then get a username/password. I am using the same phone line as my new computer uses, with only computer running at a time. The new computer connects with my username/password.

On the old 486 does not. When I cancel after several tries, of it saying (error) Enter your username/passord, I get the following message.

Error 635 Cannot establish the dialup networking session. Check your server type settings in the properties Type of the connection, & try again.

I have the right items checked according to instructions. The PPP Internet win NT Server, WIN95. The Enable software compression, & TCP/IP. on the TCP/IP settings I have server assigned IP address, and Server assigned name server addresses. (I also tried the Specify name server addresses and the Primary/Secondary).

That doesn't cure the problem. I am wondering if I must signup separatly for username/passwords for each machine, even though they share the same phone and are only used for the internet one at a time??

Thaanks!!
 
i am not sure if this is possible, but maybe you can just copy the connection file from the working machine to the non working?


it might/might not work.


another thing:in the comp that its not working, delete all connections and start all over again, hell you might even go as far as reinstalling your modem.

Try this.
Control panel>modems>modem props>then connection type>advanced and try checking use error control with compress data checked also. Beside it on flow control if its a win modem use software, hardware, use hardware.
Edit: You might want to call your ISP for any further help.
 
I don't know why Windows does this but make sure that in control panel->Network->TCP/IP Dialup Adapter that Wins Resolution is disabled. While in the network control panel you might also want to check that IPX/SPX and NetBEUI aren't installed for Dialup Adapter.
 
Ne0 AsSaSiN: It has Flow control & Hardware (RTS/CTS) checked. Software is not checked. Should I also check software?

GPooba: In Network/Configurtion IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol & NetBEUI are on the list with Client for Microsoft Networks & client for Netwware Networks & Dial-up adapter & TCP/IP. Are you saying remove the two files from the list??

DAM: I think the modem is fine. What I don't know, does each machine have a signature that the internet provider reads, so it won't accept the username/password. OR does a username/password work on any machine using the same internet provider??

Thanks!!




 
Topaz - leave it on hardware.

Knock out the ticks in NetBeui and IPX/SPX Compatible.

Go to control panel click on Network, select dial up adapter - properties.

Click on the bindings tab. Ensure that TCP/IP > Dial up adapter is there and ticked. If its not you will have to add it. Go back to the configuration screen, highlight dial up adapter and then click the add button. Choose protocol, microsoft, TCP/IP. Re-boot

If everything was cool in there, uninstall and reinstall dial up networking. Do this from the add/remove programs icon in control panel. Go to windows setup, communications. Remove the tick for dial up networking, click all the OK's, apply and re-boot.

Repeat the dose, but add the tick, (you'll need your windows disk!)

Re-boot.

Try dialling the ISP. Make sure that you remove and re-type both user id and password (Caps Lock??). It should now get through the authentication server.

Probably, it will only need one of these steps to do it. You can dial the ISP from any computer. The authentication process is not computer specific only user id and password.

If you get stuck ...post 🙂

 
Yes, I would recommend removing NetBEUI and IPX/SPX from the Network control panel(make sure they are for dial-up adapter and not for a NIC), even though the dial-up networking settings should override the Networking control panel settings, alot of times it doesn't. This is what we do with our dial-up customers at work all the time.

If you do re-install DUN on Win95, you'll have to remove NetBEUI and IPX/SPX again, and probably install TCP/IP again, Windows 98 doesn't have that problem.
 
Thanks all! I applied most of your ideas & now it sorta works.

This got me on the Internet through the IE-5 Desktop Icon .

PROBLEM: If I go to "My Computer/Dialup/Click Service provider" I get the dialup, connection, BUT on the user/password it balks and gives me "Post Dial Terminal Screen" Cont.=F-7 Or Cancel=F-3. Continuing I get invalid user/password.

PROBLEM: Going through IE-5 I get the browser window, then the dialer, dial/connect sounds and it puts me on the Internet. BUT, the internet browser is extremely slow, even for WIN95. When I had my original setup (Dos/3.11/Win95) is was fairly fast, now with WIN95 alone, it is noticably slower.

A tech who installed the WIN95 says to live with it, as patches might screw things up again. What would pick up the speed? I think it is 56K Baud (read it somewhere on the 486) now.

An interesting kicker, the Freei.net I am using I copied from the downloaded version into the 486 dialer in My Computer. No Share ADvertisement bar at the top of the browser ;-) However, I wonder if that is causing it to run slow?

FREEBEE:: This isn't the right Place, but I want to tell you guys about a Radio Shack Freebie, at least free for now, next month they start selling them instead of passing them out. It is "Cue:Cat", a bar code scanner, comes with scanner tool, CD program, looks like $20. of material here. It scans bar codes, but also reads a new tech bar code that has slanted bars. My tech friend said it is handy for reading some hardware bar codes and takes you the internet site of the manufacture. Plugs between your keyboard cord and the keyboard inlet on the puter. Pretty cool and worth rushing down & getting one free. They want your name/addy/phn & also give you their catalog which is setup with the bar codes. SEE on their internet site.

Thanks again!

 
Sorry to take so long to get back to you Topaz but I got kinda busy in the Distributed Computing forum. (It's really the best forum at AT)

To get rid of that window, go to My Computer/Dial up Networking - right click and choose properties on the icon that you are dialling in with.

Select the configure button just under the modem drop down list. Choose the options tab and remove any ticks except for the one that says display modem status. OK yourself out of there.

There's so many reasons it could be slow. If you are on the old machine it is most probably lack of RAM. The net needs lots more of it. 32MB is really the minimum for any sort of pleasurable surfing with W9X. If you are on a free net service then you have to add the problem of bandwidth. They don't give away much for nothing. There are hundreds of other things but they are fairly common reasons that might be causing your problem.

Hey you have two machines! C'mon over to distributed and throw some cycles up for TA (if you don't already that is)🙂
