How to configure windows boxes to access the CSLAB modem pool

These instructions assume that your modem is installed properly on your Windows box. 

1.   Click Start -> click Control Panel -> Double-click Network Connections
2.   Click New Connection Wizard
3.   Click Next -> Select "Connect to the Internet" ->click Next
4.   Select "Set up my connection manually" -> Click Next
5.   Select "Connect using a dial-up modem" -> click Next
6.   Supply identifier string for ISP name (e.g. CSLABconnection)-> Click Next
7.   Supply phone number: 4169788767 -> Click Next
8.   Supply your CSLAB UserName and PassWord -> click Next
9.   Toggle "Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" -> Click Finish
   
   If a window pops up titled "Connect CSLABconnection", cancel out of it.

     Now we are at an important crossroad where you can either use a small script that we 
     wrote for enabling windows dial-up clients or you can chose to use a terminal window 
     to supply the dial-up commands manually.  If you want to use the manual method, jump to
     10b. and proceed as instructed. If you want to use the script method, continue on here.
     For what it is worth, we recommend the use of the script.  However, there may be instances
     where the script won't work. When you have completed step 10a, go to step 11 (skipping 10b.).

10a  Download the CSLAB.scp script from the following URL: 

     http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~simon/dialupscript.html
    
     and save it as:

     c:\windows\system32\ras\CSLAB.scp


    Alternatively, you can copy the following ascii script into notepad and save it
    as: c:\windows\system32\ras\CSLAB.scp   



proc main

   integer nTries = 3
   string szLogin = "username:"
   integer nLoginTimeout = 3
   string szPW = "password:"
   integer nPWTimeout = 3
   string szPrompt = "annex:"
   string szConnect = "ppp^M"
   delay 2
   transmit "^M^M"
   while 0 < nTries do
        waitfor szLogin then DoLogin
        until nLoginTimeout

TryAgain:
      transmit "^M"        ; ping
      nTries = nTries - 1

   endwhile

   goto BailOut

DoLogin:
   transmit $USERID, raw
   transmit "^M"
   waitfor szPW until nPWTimeout
   if FALSE == $SUCCESS then
      goto TryAgain
   endif
   transmit $PASSWORD, raw
   transmit "^M"
   waitfor szPrompt
   transmit szConnect
   goto Done

 BailOut:
  
   set screen keyboard on
   halt

Done:

endproc


10b. This step is for only for those doing a manual connection using a terminal window.

     Double-click the desktop icon labelled CSLASBconnection
     Verify that the correct number is supplied in the "Dial" box
          
     Click properties -> click the Security tab. 
     Note that here there is a section labelled Interactive logon and scripting. 
     Ensure that "Show terminal window" is selected. 
     Do not select "Run script"

     Next we need to add DNS entries for your dialup connection. 

     From the "CSLABconnection" window's properties screen,
     Select "Networking" tab -> Highlight TC/IP and click Properties.
     Ensure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected. 
     Just as importantly, select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and 
     supply any two of the following:

     128.100.2.251
     128.100.3.251
     128.100.2.250
     128.100.3.251
 
     Next select the Options tab, and de-select "Prompt for name and password".
     Click OK  
     In the "CSLABconnection window", click "Dial"
     After connecting, a terminal window will popup.
     Supply your UserName and Password.
     After authenticating, type: ppp
     Hit enter, and finally click Done
     At this point your machine should be registered on our network.
     You can now stop reading and surf!
           
      
11. Double-click the desktop icon labelled CSLASBconnection. 

12. Verify that the correct number is supplied in the "Dial" box.

13. Click properties -> click the Security tab. 
    Note that here there is a section labelled Interactive logon and scripting. Ensure that 
    "Show terminal window" is not  selected. 
    Select instead "Run script" ->click "Browse"

14. Select cslab.scp and click Open. This should take you back to the Security window.

Next we need to add DNS entries for your dialup connection. 

15. From the "CSLABconnection" window's properties screen,
    Select "Networking" tab -> Highlight TC/IP and click Properties.
16. Ensure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected. 
    Just as importantly, select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and 
    supply any two of the following:

    128.100.2.251
    128.100.3.251
    128.100.2.250
    128.100.3.251
 
    Finally click OK, and click ok again.  

    Now you should be back at the "CSLABconnection" window 
  

17. Make sure that both your Username and Password are entered correctly and then click Dial.

    You should connect with no problem.
