From below select the operating system on which the OrbitNet application will be installed :-


NOTE: If using Windows NT 4.0, you must have Service Pack 3 or higher installed on your system.


Windows 95 TCP/IP Setup

1.  Click on Control Panel -> Network.  Under the Configuration tab, click on your "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP -> OK.

**  To add NetBEUI to this network card, click on your "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> NetBEUI -> OK.

**  LAN Adapter means the network card on the OrbitNet computer to which you will specify a non-routable IP address for the OrbitNet application.

2.  Under the Configuration tab check to see if you have installed TCP.  It will be in the format of "TCP/IP -> LAN Adapter".  If TCP is not there for the LAN adapter, then click on "LAN Adapter" -> Add -> Protocol -> Add -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP -> OK.

 

3.  Once you have done this, click on "TCP/IP for the LAN Adapter" -> Properties.

  • Under the IP Address tab, select "Specify an IP address" and enter in a non-routalbe IP address with a subnet mask.

  • Under the DNS tab, select "Enable DNS".
Host:  Enter in the name assigned to the OrbitNet computer.  The name is available from Control Panel -> Network -> Identification.  Avoid punctuation marks.
Domain:  Enter your local domain name.  The domain name can be your ISP's domain name, but it is better to use our own.  Feel free to make one up (e.g. fred.com, suzie.org).  The name does not need to be officially listed with any Internet bodies- since it is on your local, private network.  It is invisible to the rest of the world.  All of your computers should have the same domain name, and because of the way DNS lookups are made it is best if you have a .com or other standard domain name on the end.
DNS Server Search Order:  Enter in the internal IP address of OrbitNet followed by the DNS numbers of your ISP.  The IP address(es) of your ISP's DNS servers are often given as the primary and secondary DNS servers.  You will use the IP address of the primary DNS in the Properties Wizard.  As a last resort, if you know the domain name but not the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers (and can not obtain them), OrbitNet can find the IP addresses.  In OrbitNet, click on File -> Advanced Properties -> Protocols -> DNS Setup -> Find_My_Name_Server!!

4.   Click OK -> OK, then reboot/restart your operating system.
