Introduction
In order to improve performance and
reliability Inland Internet Inc. has changed the way that we get
our Internet connection. This change requires some modifications
to your current configuration of our Embarque software. Each
computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a number that
uniquely identifies it to the "network." The computer
we use to connect to the Internet has had its numbers changed
because of the new company we are using. In order for your connection
to function correctly your system must be made aware of these
number changes.
Instructions
Start Microsoft Windows 3.1/3.11.
Inside [Program Manager]
you should have a program group (basically a box) called [Accessories].
To open the Accessories program group, double-click the "box"
to open it up. This will display the contents of Accessories.
Inside, you should have an application
called [Notepad]. Double-Click the
icon that says Notepad under it. This loads the Notepad application
which we will use to make the number changes.
You should now see a window on your
screen that says 'Notepad' at the top of it. In the top left
corner of the 'Notepad' window you should see a small horizontal
line that looks like a wide subtraction sign. Click on this line
and a small menu window will appear. Inside that menu window,
click on the word [Maximize].
In the 'Notepad' menu bar, click on
the word [File] and then click on the word
[Open] under the File menu. This will bring
up a window that asks you what file you want to work with. 0n
the top right-hand-side, it is listing the current directory (folder)
that you are in (something like c:\windows) under the listing
is a box that is displaying the directories on your hard drive.
You most likely installed our Embarque software on your hard
drive, usually drive C: If you installed it on a different drive,
then choose the correct drive letter in the drop down list box
in the lower right-hand corner. Once you are on the correct drive,
double-click on the c:\ with the little yellow folder to the left
of it (inside the directory list box on the right-hand-side).
This displays all of the other directories (little yellow folders)
that are on your hard drive.
Under the yellow folder with the C:\
next to it, you should see a listing of other directories (with
yellow folders next to them). Use the down arrow on your keyboard,
or the scroll bar, to find a little yellow folder with the word
'embarque' next to it (if you installed embarque into another
directory then you must go to the directory that you installed
it to. If you did not change it when you installed, embarque
was installed in C:\EMBARQUE). When you
find this folder, double-click on the word 'embarque' to open
the folder and to display the other folders that are under it.
One the folders under C:\EMBARQUE
is a folder called winsock .
Double-click on this folder so it opens up and displays its contents
in the window on the left-hand side. One of the files listed
on the left hand side will be a file called trumpwsk.ini
. Click on this file so that its name becomes highlighted,
then click on the [Open] button. This will
bring the file up in Notepad so it can be edited.
The fifth line down should look like
this:
dns=206.117.116.1 206.117.116.2
You need to change it exactly to this:
dns=207.155.59.1 207.155.59.2
Once you have changed those numbers,
you need to save and exit the file. In the 'Notepad' menu bar,
click on the word [File] and then click on
the word [Save] under the File menu. Next,
in the 'Notepad' menu bar, click on the word [File]
and then click on the word [Exit] under the
File menu. You are done.
Embarque should now be configured correctly.
Connect to Inland Internet like you normally do. The changes
you made have been saved and will be used the next time you connect
to us.
