Configuring TCP/IP for ADN-ii in Windows 95

Note: To be able to complete this configuration, you must know your Computer's "IP address" and "host name". If you do not know these, see "Need Additional Help" below.

To begin, single click on the Start Button in the lower left corner.

• Click on Settings, then on Control Panel, then double-click on Network.
• In the list of Installed Network Components, make sure both a "Network Adapter" and "TCP/IP" are listed ONLY ONCE. If either of them are listed more than once, highlight one of them and then click on Remove.
• If you're not sure what to look for, Network Adapters have small green 'cards' next to them in the list of network components. You can see a list of the four symbols used here by clicking the Add... button. The Network adapter listed should match the type of ethernet card you have in your computer.
• If there is no Network Adapter or TCPIP listed, follow the steps below accordingly.


• Adding a Network Card or Adapter if not listed
1. Click on Cancel.
2. Double click on Add New Hardware.
3. Single click on Next.
4. Select Yes (Recommended).
5. Single click on Next.
6. Windows 95 will search for your Network card. Don't use your computer while Windows 95 is detecting hardware devices. When it is done, click on Finish. Windows 95 may ask for its diskettes or CD, and it may ask to restart your computer. You must let it restart your computer for changes to take effect.
   
• Adding the TCP/IP Protocol if not listed
1. If TCP/IP is not listed: Click on Add.... and then on Protocol, and then on Add.
2. Select Microsoft from the list of Manufacturers.
3. Select TCP/IP, and click OK.
4. Windows 95 may ask for its diskettes or CD, and it may ask to restart your computer. You must let it restart your computer for changes to take effect.
   

• Select TCP/IP from the list of installed network components, and click on Properties.
• Under the "IP Address" tab, select Specify an IP address.
• In the "IP Address field", enter your IP number, in the form ###.###.###.###, e.g., 131.193.154.102
• In the "Subnet Mask" field, enter 255.255.255.0
• Under the "Gateway" tab, enter the first three sets of numbers of your IP address and then a "1" as the fourth set. For example, if your IP address is 128.248.100.220, then the Gateway will be 128.248.100.1 Click on Add when you've completed this.
• Under the "DNS Configuration" tab, select "Enable DNS" and then type your computer's host name in the "Host" field and your computer's domain name in the "Domain" field. For example, if V012.math.uic.edu were the entire host name of your computer, V012 would be entered into the "Host" field, and math.uic.edu would be entered in the "Domain" field.
• In the DNS server search order, type: 128.248.171.50 and click on Add.
• Repeat the previous step for UIC's two other name servers: 128.248.7.50 and 128.248.2.50.
• Now click OK. Click OK one more time on the Network Window to finish Network setup.
• Windows may ask for Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM. It may also ask you to restart Windows 95.
• Now you can run both 32 bit and 16 bit Winsock (TCP/IP) applications like Netscape, Eudora, Telnet, etc. To start any of them, click on Start, then Programs, then Network Services Kit, and then select the program you want to run.
