AUTHENTICATION CHANGEOVER FOR WINDOWS NT COMPUTERS

This document will help you change your dialup modem connection to my.emich authentication. You must have a modem installed correctly, the correct drivers loaded and a previously working dialup connection through Eastern Michigan University to successfully complete this process.

Please follow the setup instructions on the ICT HelpDesk Web site if you need to set up a new Dial-up (Remote) Internet access.

STEP ONE:
Edit Your Phone Book Entry and Reconfigure TCP/IP 

Dynamic Addressing means that the Merit NAS system will issue you a temporary IP number for internet access each time you dial up. Now that RAS and the TCP/IP protocol are installed, you'll need to configure TCP/IP to connect to Merit's NAS. To create an EMU profile, you must set the Basic, Server, and Script options. These are explained below. Your screen should look like this (some options may vary):

• Click on the Basic tab. You should see a window like the one above.
• Click on the Server tab at the top of the window. The Server window will look similar to this: (some options may vary)  

• Click on the TCP/IP Settings... button. You should see a window like this: 

• The "Server assigned IP address" radio button should be selected. (In an options group, indicated by the radio button, you can only select one option)
• The "Specify name server addresses" radio button should be selected. This will allow you to edit the DNS text boxes. Notice the input mask (i.e. 4 groups of 3 digits seperated by a dot.) To jump between each group, simply type 3 digits, or hit the period key, or click the next area with the mouse.
• Make sure the following information is correctly entered in the "Primary DNS" and "Secondary DNS" text boxes:
  
  • In "Primary DNS:" text box, MichNet's DNS: 198.108.1.42
  • In the "Secondary DNS:" text box, EMU's DNS: 164.76.2.54
    
• "Use IP Header compression" and "Use default gateway on remote network" should both be checked. 
• Close the TCP/IP settings window by clicking OK.
• Single-click the OK button in the Edit Phonebook Entry window to save the changes.

STEP TWO:
Connecting To MichNet

• Double-click on the My Computer icon (on the desktop) and then double-click the Dial-Up Networking folder. The window will look similar to this: (Some options may vary.)  

• Under "Phonebook entry to dial:", select Merit PPP from the list box.
• Your MichNet number for your dialing location should appear under the "Phone number preview:" text box.
• "Dialing from" (Where Applicable) can be left as "Default" (Do not state your phone number)
• Click on the Dial button to connect, an "After Dial Terminal Window" will appear. (This means that MichNet has answered your call)
• MichNet may identify itself and it's location with a statement such as "Merit NAS. You have reached MichNet. You must follow all MichNet policies"
• You will then be asked for your host location at the "host:" prompt.
• Type: ppp (lowercase)
• At the "username:" or "login:" prompt, type your my.emich email address which consists of your my.emich username and the corresponding domain name.
• Enter your password when prompted.
• MichNet will then send you access information. If connected successfully, you may see a statement like "ppp session established..." followed by lines of computer characters (unreadable by you). Click Done to connect.
• A connection icon will appear to the left of the clock on the system tray.
