Support Broadband Tutorial can access modem, but can't connect to the Internet on Windows 95/98/ME
- Download the RASPPPoE software from: http://www.raspppoe.com/
- This can be done using your alternative backup dialup service.
- Unzip the file into a temporary directory (such as C:\RASPPPoE)
- Right mouse button click the Network Neighbourhood (Windows 98/98SE) or the My Network Places (Windows ME) icon on your desktop and select Properties to bring up the Network Configuration window.
- Click the Add button. In the Select Network Component Type window, select Protocol and click the Add button.
- In the Select Network Protocol window, click the Have Disk button.
- In the Install From Disk window, either type the name of your temporary installation directory or click the Browse button to navigate to it.
- Click the OK button.
- A new window opens, offering two options for installation. Make sure you select the correct option for the operating system you are running:
- Select PPP over Ethernet Protocol (Windows 95) if you are running Windows 95 or any of its OEM Service Releases.
- Select PPP over Ethernet Protocol (Windows 98/ME) if you are running Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition.
- Click OK to start installing the protocol. Click the OK button to close the Network Configuration window and confirm to reboot.
- The protocol is now fully functional, but you still need to create a dial-up connection to use it.
- Click the Start button on the taskbar and select Run to bring up the Run dialog box.
- Type RASPPPOE in the edit field and click the OK button to run the Dial-Up Connection Setup application.
- A dialog box comes up with a combo box labelled Query available PPP over Ethernet Services through Adapter: at the top.
- Select the network adapter your broadband modem is connected to from the list.
- If the protocol is only operating on one network adapter, the box will be greyed out, as there is no choice to make.
- Click the Query Available Services button.
- The application will send out a query for offered services and display the result in the list view below.
- Click the Create a Dial-Up Connection for the selected Adapter button now.
- Shortly afterwards, a shortcut to the new dial-up connection named Connection through Adapter Name should show up on your desktop.
- Rename the Dial-Up Connection Icon to iiNet ADSL Connection.
- Double click the iiNet ADSL Connection icon and input the following fields:
- Username: Enter your iiNet username followed by .@iinet.net.au. (i.e. username@iinet.net.au)
- Password: Enter your password as supplied by iiNet
- Click the Connect button to connect to the Internet.
Congratulations! You have now successfully setup your computer to connect to the Internet.
