18 January 1996 Settings for the Concentric Research Corporation network. NOTE: THIS IS FOR PPP (Point to Point Protocol and not SLIP since I never did get SLIP to work.) After many hours of experimentation and frustration I finally succeeded in getting my CRC account to work with IBM's "OS/2 Warp" and OS/2 Warp Connect,s" Internet Access Kit, hereinafter known as "IAK." I repeat...This is for use as a PPP logon. NOTE: Unless other wise stated these settings are case sensitive and if I have used capital letters it means, capital letters. If I have typed in lower case, then it means lower case. PAGE 1 of the IAK notebook (LOGIN INFO) *Name: CRIS (or whatever name you wish to use.) The asterisk means it is a required field, but what you put there is free form.) Description: CRCLocal (Free form again and this is what I use. Login ID: Your user id@PPP (Note PPP must be capitalized.) Example: joeblow@PPP (your name in lower case & PPP in upper case.) Password: Your password as given to the CRC people by you. Phone Number: The phone number given to you for your area by the persons at CRC. Login Sequence: Leave blank. Nada, nyet, nothing in this large window. Connection Type. There are 2 radio buttons, 1 marked SLIP & 1 marked PPP. Hit the PPP button with your mouse pointer. Inactivity window. Default is 15 minutes but you can choose how many minutes you wish. PAGE 2 of the IAK Notebook (CONNECT INFO) Your IP Address: "Leave BlanK" Destination IP Address: "Leave Blank" Net Mask: 255.255.255.0 *MRU Size: 1500 (Default size) VJ Compression(no check) *Domain Name Server: 199.3.12.2 Your Host Name: cr3.cris.com Domain Name: cris.com PAGE 3 of the IAK Notebook (Server Info) News server: news.cris.com Gopher Server: gopher.cris.com WWW Server: www.cris.com Mail Gateway: mail.cris.com Pop3 mail Server: pop3.cris.com Reply domain: cris.com Reply mail ID: id@pop3.cris.com (Example: ID=e-mail name you use like jblow@cris.com This may or may not be the same as your user ID. My user ID is different in my case since I used my e-mail ID in another subscription to CRC so I had to pick another name .....so whatever) Pop login ID: jblow (Whatever your e-mail ID is as in above example) Pop Password: xxxxx (Whatever your password is...it remains the same for everything.) N.B. After all of the above information is filled in, you can click on the close notebook button (upper left button) and it will ask if you wish to save settings. Click on "yes." Click on Dial and you should be up and running. It takes 30 or 40 seconds or more to complete the connection. When you see the phrase in the "Status Window"......... "Connector completed" you are not done so don't panic. It takes another 50 or 60 seconds to really complete. When you see the phrase ..Use "Control C" or "Control Break" to Terminate then you're done and on line. (Prior to the terminate message you'll see the various 32 bit IP addresses that CRIS is using to connect. You might copy them down at first, in case someone needs them to debug your connection.) Also Note: The reply mail ID: is not the same as your E-Mail address which is your E-mail name@cris.com (i.e. jblow@cris.com) I mention this since if you are using a Mail Reader like PostRoad Mailer as I do, you'll need some of this information for setting up the reader> If you have any questions or comments or find any errors you can reach me at: jimjann@cris.com
