- What You Need to Get
Started:
- Windows 95 of course
and a modem
- Microsoft Plus! for
Windows 95 or Dial-Up-Networking v1.2 Upgrade (msdun12.exe)
- Step 1: Install
Microsoft PLUS! or Dial-Up-Networking v1.2 Upgrade
- The Microsoft PLUS! setup
program will check to see if Dial-up Networking
was installed on your system. It will then install all
the necessary files for the Dial-up Server. Microsoft
PLUS! must be purchased separately from your local
software reseller. Or you can install the Dial-Up-Networking
v1.2 Upgrade (msdun12.exe) which can be found on the net
in various locations including Microsoft's site.
- Step 2: Configure Your
TCP/IP Settings
- In your Control Panel,
double-click the Network icon. Make sure that the IPX/SPX-compatible
Protocol, the NetBEUI protocol, and the TCP/IP
protocols are all installed. If any or all are not,select
Add.., then Protocol, then Microsoft,
then select any of the three mentioned protocols you do
not have installed and press OK.
Still in the Network
properties dialog box, change the Primary Network
Logon to Windows Logon. You're now ready to
configure the server.
- Step 3: Configure the
Dial-Up Server
- Open up My Computer
from the desktop and double-click the Dial-Up
Networking icon. Once the Dial-up Networking window
is open, click on the Connections menu and select
the Dial-up Server... option.
At the top of the this dialog box
will be the names of all configured modems on the system
(you'll probably only have one). Select your modem, then
select the Allow caller access option. If you want
to protect your computer with a password (I suggest you
do so), press the Change Password... button. In
the Comment section, you can enter any comment
about your server (it will be displayed when outside
callers connect).
If you select the Server
Types button, you'll get a dialog box like this. The
default options should be just fine, but you can change
the default if you're having trouble with dial-in
connections.
Press Apply and you'll
see the Status line change to Waiting for
connection.... You can press OK and the server
will run in the background.
- Step 4: Share Some
Resources
- Even though your dial-up
server is configured, no callers will be able to use any
of your computer's resources (drives, directories,
printers, etc.) unless you share them.
Basically to share resources you
just right click on a drive or folder and select Sharing...
from the pop-up menu.
- Step 5: Accessing a
Dial-up Server
- If other users want to access
your machine, they need to set up their Dial-up
networking and make a new connection in their Dial-up
Networking folder for your server. In the Server
Types option, they need to select PPP: Windows 95,
Windows NT 3.5, Internet, check Log on to network,
and then check any and all allowable network protocols.
They do not need to configure TCP/IP Settings such
as IP address and DNS for a dial-up session
to another Windows 95 machine.
When the calling party connects to the dial-up
server, he or she will need to "run" the
computername of the server (the computername is also
known as the NetBIOS name, and can be found in the Identification
tab of the Network properties dialog box). From
the Start Menu, select Run... then type in
the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) address for the
server. For example, if the remote server were named TOM,
the UNC would be \\TOM (for your information,
NetBIOS names are not case sensitive). Upon running the
remote computer's name, all available shared resources
will be displayed as a folder. If there is a person using
the dial-up server machine, he or she can also run the
connecting computer's name to see its remote resources.
- Step 6: Playing DooM
Legacy
- Finally to play DooM
Legacy, just start up DooMatic after establishing a
connection as described above and use one computer to
start a DooMatic server and connect with the other
computer. That's it!
- Other Notes...
- If you have more computers
connected on a LAN (local area network) on one or both
ends of your dial-up connection, you may be able to
include more than 2 players. I've been able to
accomplish this with Quake but not with DooM yet.
If anyone else can figure this out, please let me know
how you did it. Thanks!
