LHUPNet Dial-In Access
Connecting with a Windows PC
To connect to the university network using a Microsoft Windows PC (Win95 or greater), simply download the program below and run it. Click on the link, enter your Domain1/NT username, password, and domain1, and choose "Save to disk". Then run the program.
On Windows 9x systems you may be prompted for your Windows installation CD during the installation process and may also be required to reboot your computer. Once the LHUPNet connection is installed, double-click "LHUPNet" on your desktop and then click "Properties" and "Phone Book". Choose the appropriate phone number to connect to and click OK. On the main dial-in screen, enter your Domain1/NT username and password if you are a student, faculty, staff, or a guest of the University.
Connecting with a Macintosh
 | Macintosh running System 7.0 or higher |
| Macintosh compatible Modem and Software |
Once your modem is setup and installed (see your modem instructions for this), you can give your modem a try. Dial 893-8637 for students and 748-1585 for eagle account users (faculty, staff, and guests). This is all you need if you want to dial into Lock Haven University's system to check your e-mail. If you get connected, your modem is setup and running correctly. If you do not get logged in, you need to go back through the modem install or contact the manufacturer of the modem to correct it. Do not continue until this section is working. You DO NOT need anything else, unless you want to explore the internet. DO NOT try and use the PPP Connection portion of the text mode dialup, it DOES NOT work for the Macintoshes. If you would like to use some type of internet explorer application (such as Netscape) you will need to continue.

It is recommended that you download FreePPP and Fetch first. Setup and test your connection, then download the rest directly to your computer using Fetch. Once you have acquired the necessary software and run each of their installation programs, please feel free to continue.
Before proceeding with the setup of FreePPP, you must ensure that AppleTalk (located in the Chooser) is turned on. Locate and open the folder FreePPP Software. Your windows should look similar to the one below.
Double click on "FreePPP Setup" icon. Your window should look like this one below.
Click on the small blue arrowhead to expand this window to look like the one below.
Click on "Modem Setup" and ensure that all information is correct. Do not change any settings unless you are sure that they are correct. You may have to go back and edit these settings, but if you are unsure leave them at their defualts.
Make sure that you select pulse tone or touch tone. Click ok when done and this will take you back to the previous screen.
Now select the "Open MacTCP" or "Open TCP/IP" button. This will take you into the MacTCP or TCP/IP setup and then we will come back to finish the FreePPP Setup.
If your Macintosh has the TCP/IP button, skip this section.
Below is the initial window screen once MacTCP is opened.
Make sure that FreePPP icon is selected in the top window and then click on more and the following window should appear.
Make sure that your window contains the information typed in above. Click OK and close the MacTCP Admin window by clicking in the small box in upper lefthand corner of the window.
If your Macintosh has the MacTCP button, skip this section.
Below is the initial window screen once TCP/IP is opened. Make sure your window looks like this one and then close TCP/IP.
This should take you back to the FreePPP Setup screen.
Uncheck all boxes and then select the "Account" tab, which will bring up the following window.
Select "New" to create a new account.
Give your file whatever name you would like, but if you need assistance, all information and names in this document will be used. Enter only one phone number [8938637 for student users and 7481585 for eagle account users]. Enter your domain1(for students) or eagle(for faculty and staff) login ID for the user name. It is recommended that you DO NOT enter your password in. While this makes login easier, it provides a security risk to your account and LHU network. When the above information is correctly entered, click on OK. You should now see your new account setup and the Connect button should now be clickable.
Click on the small blue arrowhead to shorten this window since this window stays open while you are connected to LHU
When you want to connect to LHU just click on the Connect button and give it a test. You should be prompted to enter your pasword. You should notice that the Connect button has now changed to Disconnect and you will click on that to end your session.
