When changing or installing dial-up hardware or software the following installation sequence has to be followed. If the sequence is not followed exactly, then functions and tools seem to fail without explanation.
For example, changing a modem might require that Dial-Up Networking is reinstalled. In turn the Dial-Up Scripting Tool does no longer work after the Dial-Up Networking has been reinstalled. The Dial-Up Scripting Tool shows that the correct script is applied to the Dial-Up Networking connection icon, but when you double-click the connection icon, Dial-Up Networking doe not log you on and after the time out interval disconnects.
So the correct installation sequence is:
1. Modem
2. Dial-Up Adapter in Networks
3. Dial-Up Networking in Communications of Add/Remove Programs
4. Dial-Up Scripting Tool (Windows 95 Only)
The first three correspond to applets in the Control Panel. For Windows 95, the Dial-Up Scripting Tool is installed with the following steps:
1. In Control Panel, select the Add/Remove Programs applet.
2. Select the Windows Setup tab and click Have Disk
3. Type the path of the RNAPLUS.INF file and click OK. For example, if you have the Windows 95 CD-ROM, the path is
<drive>:\Admin\Apptools\Dscript\Rnaplus.inf
where <drive> is the letter corresponding to the CD-ROM drive.
4. Click on the "SLIP and Scripting for Dial-Up Networking" check box to select it and click Install.
In Windows 95, the Dial-Up Scripting Tool is by default installed in the \Program Files\Accessories directory. In Windows 95, this should also be the location of the scripts.
For Windows NT 4.0, the Dial-Up Scripting Tool is built in and so the above procedure is not required. The script files should be stored in the \Winnt\System32\Ras directory.
If you do not have the Windows 95 CD-ROM, you can download the Dial-Up Scripting Tool from Microsoft's web site at www.microsoft.com/windows/software/admintools.htm and click on "Dial-Up SLIP and Scripting Support"
