To set up iPass, first Download and Install , then configure the iPass Dialer.
Download and Install
Download the iPass dialer to your temp directory.
The file will download as a binhex file. You can use "Stuffit Expander" to extract the file into a self-extracting archive. Double
click on this archive and you will get a folder called iPass Dial Wizard.
To run the iPass Dial Wizard, you must make sure that the application, the file "POP Database," and the folder "Scripts" are all
located in the same folder. If they are not, delete all the files and extract them again. If the files are still incomplete, please contact your ISP for assistance.
Now open the TCP/IP control panel. Make sure that you have changed "Connect via:" to PPP. Also, make sure that you have provided Domain
Name Service (DNS) entry. If you do not have one, ask your ISP for one. Ensure that the DNS entry that you are given is accessible from outside any firewalls that might be in
place.
Please note that the iPass Dial Wizard does not negotiate DNS settings. It is assumed that your modem is properly configured through the Modem Control
Panel and that you were able to make a successful connection to the Internet prior to the
Dial Wizard Installation. Now that you have the Dial Wizard installed, try to make a
connection to a local iPass number to ensure that you are set up successfully. It is much
easier, and less expensive, to get support from your ISP while you are still at home.
Configure
The iPass Dial Wizard is easy to use. Simply run the program from the Dial Wizard folder and follow the prompts as provided. In no time, you will
easily be able to connect to the Internet, with a local phone call, while traveling throughout the world.
If you need the memory that is being used by the iPass Dial Wizard, you can always quit the program after you have established a connection. To hang
up, just restart the program and click "Hang Up."
Trouble Shoot
If you have problems, please check the following:
Your modem is connected and plugged in.
The phone line is connected to your modem.
You have selected PPP from the TCP/IP control panel.
You have enough memory. You should have at least one and a
half megabytes (1.5MB) of free RAM in order to run the iPass Dial Wizard and establish a
PPP connection.
OT/PPP does not correctly negotiate DNS. See the discussion
in "Installation Instructions" for a description of how to address this problem.
If none of these help you to resolve your problem, please
