Windows 2000 RAS
Abstract
After starting to program in EPOC I wanted to write some net applications. But I wanted
to use my direct connection to the internet not a dialup and I couldn't find proper instructions
on how to do this so I got some help from friendly people on UseNet and decided to document it.
Requirements
- Two free serial ports
- EPOC Emulator ER5 (I'm currently working on getting ER6 to work)
- A NULL modem cable. See here for details on how to make one
Configure Windows
First you need to tell windows to accept incoming connection on a com port.
Method:
- Go into Network properties (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network and Dial-up Connections)
- Select "Make New Connection"1
- Select "Connect directly to another computer"
- Select "Host"
- Select the comport you wish to use for the incoming connection
e.g. "Communications Port(COM2)"
- Select the users to give access to it, this should be your account.
I created a seperate account just for the emulator to use call "EPOC"
- Click "Next" and then click "Finish".
Next you need to setup windows to have a dial out connection on a com port
Method:
- Go into Network properties (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network and Dial-up Connections)
- Select "Make New Connection"
- Select "Connect directly to another computer"
- Select "Guessed"
- Select the comport you wish to use for the outgoing connection. This needs to be either Com1 or Com2
e.g. "Communications cable between two computers (COM1)"
- Click "Next" (Doesn't matter if available for all users or not)
- Click "Finish"
Configure the emulator
Testing, Testing, 1 ... 2 ..... 3
If you have any problems with this please email
or if you've found it useful please let me know...
- It has been pointed out to me that on some setups it is necessary to set the max port speed of the com ports
to 115200
