Connection via Dial-up or ISDN

If you have dial-up access to the Internet (regular 56K or ISDN) on a PC running Win95, Win98 or NT4.0, you have what's needed to run WinRoute. WinRoute must run on a computer that includes:

Connection via Dial-up or ISDN

In case you have an ISDN modem connected to your computer via Ethernet, refer to the chapter for DSL. In that case you will configure WinRoute to work with two Ethernet cards.

Before the connection

Before connecting to the Internet, double check the following:

WinRoute uses Dial-up Networking or RAS services available in your operating system for Internet connection.

dialupnet

It is recommended that you connect the Internet to the computer where WinRoute is to be installed PRIOR to installing and running WinRoute to insure that the connection is correctly configured and dial-up networking or RAS properly working.

WinRoute configuration

After you've performed all of the configuration described above:

  1. Go to menu Settings->Interface table -you should see all network interfaces available in your computer. Dial-up interfaces are named RAS in WinRoute (on both 95/98 and NT) operating systems.
  2. Go to the Properties of selected RAS interface
  3. Check the button "Perform NAT with IP address of this interface on all communication passing through"
  4. Go to RAS table in Properties dialog, choose or create your connection and set options according to your needs. See RAS table for more details.

Remember! NAT has to be checked "ON" on RAS interface while "UNCHECKED" on the interface(s) that is linking to the Internal network.

Ethernet interface configuration

  1. The Network Interface Card leading to the Internal network has an assigned IP address (private class) and NO assigned gateway!
  2. The DNS entries used for this interface are based on data from your ISP. If this data has not been provided to you, please contact your service provider.

You may set WinRoute to provide you with the dial on demand feature, where the connection is established automatically based on the traffic (data) going out of the local network.
