Changing Your Slirp Connections
This document will provide instructions for setting up your
modem-connected computer to the COA server and allow you
to use applications such as Eudora, Netscape, Explorer, and
Telnet. This document is the main source of support for sLirP
setup. Please refer to this page before calling the Lab with
questions. If you get stuck we can answer general questions
for you over the phone or via email. Good luck with your
setup.
I. Download the following file:
AGSLIP.SCP
DIALUP.BAT -> use
this if you have Windows 95
DSCRPT.EXE -> use
this if you have Windows 95
Windows 95 Users --- Once you have these files downloaded
in C:\Temp, you can run Dialup.bat and it will set up Dial-Up
Networking. : Please refer to Setting Up Your Connection
further down on the page for continued instructions.
You should save this file into C:\Program Files\Accessories
so that later when we install this new script, things will
be greatly simplified. If you already have this file (it
was sent to you via E-mail as an attachment from us), then
we need to find it now and put it in the right place, otherwise
skip down to part II.
Click on Start, scroll up to Find, then click Files or Folders...
In the Named: field, type in agslip and click the Find Now
button...
Now at this point, you want to highlight
the most recent version that was found, and copy this file
(agslip) to C:\Program Files\Accessories. If you need help
with copying and pasting, you can call us here at the lab
(621-2489) for assistance.
