hen you want to connect to a remote network or the
Internet, you use dial-up networking. To use dial-up networking, you need
a modem and connections to the remote server or the Internet. You can dial
into a Remote Access Service server, the Internet, or access a virtual private
network server on your network via a connection (for example, through the
Internet).
With Windows 2000 Professional, you can also configure Internet
connection sharing. This feature allows you to connect a single computer
to the network and let other users on the same, small network share the
Internet connection.
Another Internet feature of Windows 2000 Professional is Peer Web Ser-
vices (PWS), which is a program that acts as a small-scale Web server. Once
you have PWS installed, you can manage your Web site through Personal
Web Manager and Internet Services Manager. You can also configure printers
to be used through the Internet, or local clients can access the printer through
a Web browser.
In this chapter, you will learn how to configure dial-up networking and
create dial-up connections on a Windows 2000 Professional client. You will
also learn how to use PWS and configure Internet printing.
The server side of dial-up networking is covered in detail in

ial-up networking
allows remote users (for example, a person work-
ing from home or someone with a laptop on a business trip) to dial into the
network or the Internet. Before you can use dial-up networking, you must
have your computer configured to dial out. This requires that you have a
modem installed and properly configured.
The other subobjectives for the “Implement, manage, and troubleshoot input
and output (I/O) devices” objective are covered in Chapter 4, “Configuring the
Windows 2000 Environment.”
If you install a Plug-and-Play modem on your Windows 2000 computer,
it should be recognized automatically, and an appropriate driver should be
loaded.
You can configure and manage the modems installed on your com-
puter through Device Manager. To access Device Manager, right-click
My Computer and select Manage from the pop-up menu. Select System
Tools, then Device Manager. In the Device Manager window, select
Modems and then double-click the modem you want to manage. This
brings up the modem Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 13.1. This
dialog box has six tabs: General, Modem, Diagnostics, Advanced, Driver,
and Resources. The options on these tabs are covered in the following
sections.

FIGURE 13.1
The General tab of the modem Properties dialog box
You should not change the default modem properties unless your modem
manufacturer or the entity you are connecting to (for example, your Internet
service provider) recommends the change. If you make incorrect changes to
the modem configuration, your modem may not work.
Configuring General Modem Properties
The General tab of the modem Properties dialog box (see Figure 13.1) dis-
plays the device type, manufacturer, and location. It also shows the device
status.
If the modem is not working properly, you can click the Troubleshooter
button to start a Troubleshooting Wizard that can help you determine the
cause of the problem. See Chapter 4, “Configuring the Windows 2000 Envi-
ronment,” for more information about troubleshooting devices.

Configuring Modem Properties
The Modem tab, shown in Figure 13.2, shows the port that the modem is
attached to. From this tab, you can set the following options:
The speaker volume for the modem
The maximum port speed (specified in bits per second)
Dial control to wait for a dial tone before dialing
FIGURE 13.2

Running Modem Diagnostics
Through the Diagnostics tab, shown in Figure 13.3, you can query the modem.
This process can be used in troubleshooting to ensure that the modem is prop-
erly responding to requests.

When you click the Query Modem button, Device Manager will test the
modem by issuing a series of modem commands. The commands and the
responses sent back from the modem are listed in the dialog box.
Configuring Advanced Modem Properties
The Advanced tab, shown in Figure 13.4, allows you to specify additional
initialization commands. You can also configure advanced port settings and
change default preferences, as explained in the following sections.

Advanced Port Settings
Clicking the Advanced Port Settings button brings up the Advanced Settings
dialog box for your communications (COM) port, as shown in Figure 13.5.
Through this dialog box, you can specify whether the port will use first in,
first out (FIFO) buffers and the settings that will be used for the receive and
transmit buffers. Lower settings can be used to correct connection problems.
Higher settings can increase performance.

The General tab of the modem Default Preferences dialog box
In the General tab, you can set call and data connection preferences. The
call preferences options include settings for how long the connection will last
if a call is idle for more than the specified time and how long to wait for a
connection before canceling a call. The data connection preferences options
include settings for the port speed, the data protocol, compression (enabled
or disabled), and flow control (hardware or software).
Through the Advanced tab, you can specify the hardware settings for the
port, as shown in Figure 13.7. The options for hardware settings include
data bits, parity, stop bits, and modulation.

To uninstall the driver, click the Uninstall button. To update the driver,
click the Update Driver button. See Chapter 4 for details on updating drivers.
Viewing Modem Resources
The Resources tab, shown in Figure 13.9, lists the resources that are used
by your modem. Resources include memory, I/O memory, and interrupt
request (IRQ) settings. You can use this information to detect resource
conflicts, which may arise if you have non-Plug-and-Play hardware
installed on your computer.

Using Dial-Up Connections
Y
ou can use dial-up connections to dial into Remote Access Service
servers or into the Internet. Windows 2000 also supports virtual private net-
work connections and Internet connection sharing. You will learn how to
