Configuring Windows 2000 for Upperspace:

In your Windows Start Menu, go to Settings and select Network and Dial-Up Connections. Double click on the Make New Connection icon located in this folder.



Select Dial-Up to the Internet from the options presented to you in the wizard. Then, click Next.



Choose to connect by using your phone line when prompted. Then, click Next.



Once inside the Internet Connection Wizard, enter in the phone number 918-825-3043.

When you're finished filling in this screen, click the Advanced button.



After clicking the Advanced button, an Advanced Connection Properties dialog will come up.

On the Connection tab, ensure that PPP is selected, and that you put a check in the box that says Disable LCP Extensions.



Then, Select ISP automatically provides IP address and DNS server address.



When finished, click OK to get back to the phone number box. Then, click Next.

Enter the username and password you were assigned to connect to Hawk Communications. These both are likely in all lower-case letters. If that is the case, please make sure that the Caps Lock light is off on your keyboard to ensure you're typing this correctly. When finished, click Next.



You'll then be prompted to give this connection a name. Type in Upperspace for the name of this connection.

Save this configuration and complete the process by clicking the Finish button once you've reached this part.

You'll notice a Upperspace icon now appears in the Network and Dial-Up Connections folder. You can use this directly to get connected by double-clicking on it, or to make it easier, you can create a "shortcut" to it from your desktop. Here's how: Right-click on the icon to make a menu of options pop up. Select Create Shortcut from this menu. This will prompt you to let Windows know if you would like a shortcut placed on the desktop. When asked, click Yes. An icon will appear on your desktop. To connect to the internet, just double click on it.
