Windows
Dial-Up Networking Instructions
These
instructions will allow you to manually set up a dial-up
connection to CalWeb. If possible, it is best to use the Internet
Connection Wizard to set up your connection to CalWeb.
|
| IMPORTANT!
Please verify that the number you are using is a local
access number and is entered correctly. (This can be done by
checking with the operator or a recent copy of the white
pages.) While we will suggest the best possible possible
access number, CalWeb Internet Services is not
responsible for any toll or phone charges incurred while
using our service. |
| General
Settings |
The following
settings are recommended for Windows to connect to CalWeb
Internet over a dial-up connection. Not all options appear
on all screens, and some of the wording may be slightly
different.
- Server
Assigned IP Address should be dotted.
- Server
Assigned Name Server Address should be dotted.
- No encryption
on the password.
- PPP
Connection should be selected.
- Use IP
Header Compression should be checked.
- Use Default

- Terminal
Window and Run Script should not be checked.
Also, unless you
are dialing into CalWeb dial-up access number from another
area code (i.e. out-of-state), then the phone number to
dialed should only be 7 digits long (i.e. 779
9321). If you
have call waiting and disable it when you dial into CalWeb,
that should also appear. If you see more digits other than
the access number on the Connect to window, click on the Dial
Properties and check the following:
- Country/Region:
United States of America
- Area Code:
The current area code that you are in (i.e. 916, 530,
209). This is not your zip code.
- For local
calls, dial: and For long distance calls, dial:
Should be blank. If you are in a office environment and
need to type a number to access an outside line (i.e. 9,)
type it in here.
- For long
distance calls, use this calling card: should not be
checked.
- Tone dialing
should be dotted.
- If you have
call waiting and wish to disable it while connected to
CalWeb, check off To Disable Call Waiting, Dial:
and then select *70,
from the pull-down list. Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
- If you are in a
area where it is necessary to dial all ten digits, click
on the Dialing Rules button and check off Always
Dial The Area Code (10 digit dialing). Then, click OK.
Click OK or
Close to close out of dialing properties.
