Note: Effective August 1, 2003, Central Michigan University will begin gradual phase-out of the dial-up services. Under the reduced service plan, CMU will preserve dial-up Internet access for all users in the local calling area. Statewide Internet access will no longer be available. Local users may access the university network by dialing 774-2224.

Configuring the settings for Windows 95/98/ME:

On the desktop, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-click on Network.
Double-click on Client for Microsoft Networks.

Click OK.

TCP/IP
Double-click on TCP/IP and make the following settings:
Note: There are several tabs at the top of the TCP/IP Properties window. You will need to click on these tabs to change the settings under each of the categories.

Under IP address, click on Obtain IP address automatically.
Under WINS Configuration, click on Disable WINS resolution.
Under DNS configuration:

- Click on Enable DNS.
- Under host, type “Home”.
- Type cmich.edu as the domain.
