Configure DUN as Internet Connection

When connecting to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), a few more items need to be defined as part of your Internet connection:

The additional Setup-windows are accessed via the "More" drop-down list:

	In the "Edit Phonebook Entry": tab: "Basics": it is just a repeat of the main-window.
	The tab:"Server" requires much more attention: define as "Dial-Up Server Type:" "PPP: WinNT, Internet" Select as protocol ONLY "TCP/IP" and define the "TCP/IP" values, which are usually to get the IP-address assigned by the Server. In most cases, you need to define the IP-addresses of the DNS-server (this are the Values for CompuServe, for your own Internet connection, check with your ISP for the details).
	To avoid to have to enter manually your identification on connection to the Internet, use a Script. For CompuServe, it is already included with Windows NT4. For other ISP's: check with your ISP for the required script.
	Check the tab:"Security". Again: this info has to be supplied by your ISP.
	The "Logon Preferences" allow to define some of the behavior of the Dial-Up Windows. I like to put also a Check-Mark on "Close on Dial"
