__ b. Click on Configure. Under the General tab, make sure that the modem is displayed correctly. If it is not correct, go to Modems on the Control Panel and install your modem. For the Maximum Speed value, 19200 is a safe value to use for 14400 baud modems while 38400 is OK for 28800 baud modems.
__ c. Click on the Connection tab. Set the Connection Preferences to:
Data Bits — 8
Parity — None Stop Bits — 1
__ d. Click on the Options tab. Make sure that the Display Modem Status is checked. Click OK.

__ 5. Connect to AS/400.
__ a. Click on My Computer, then on Dial-Up Networking.
__ b. Click on your Connection icon, then on Connect.
Notes:
a. You do not need to type your userid and password on this screen (the Connect To screen) because you typed it in the script.
b. The modem now goes through the login process. At NO point in this process should you have to enter an IP Address or press continue at any prompt. If this happens, go back and recheck everything you’ve done, especially the Script file.
c. After you are connected, you can minimize the Connected To box.
__ 6. Type CWBPING systemname at a DOS prompt to check for Client Access connectivity. You get messages telling you if the connection is successful or not.
Troubleshooting
v Am I connected?
The best way to test if you are connected to the AS/400 is to use a tool called CWBPING, which is part of Client Access. Client Access for Windows 95/NT has a program that you can use in an MS-DOS Window. After you connect to AS/400, open an MS-DOS window and type
CWBPING <system name>
For example:
Chapter 18. Configuring SLIP Support on the PC 149
CWBPING SYSTEMA or
CWBPING 19.522.3.49
You should get replies that your connection is successful. If you get messages that say the connection was unsuccessful, read on.
__ 1. Check this documentation again.
Verify that your settings are the same as shown in step “Setting up to Connect to AS/400” on page 147. Make sure that you have followed the steps in this section EXACTLY.
__ 2. Check your Network Properties.
Make sure that you only have the three properties listed in step 147.
__ 3. Delete the AS/400 Connection icon.
Sometimes there are other processes associated with the Dial-Up Networking icon that can cause problems. Try deleting the icon and creating another one.
See step 3 on page 148.
__ 4. Reinstall the Network Properties Remove these Network properties:
__ a. Client for Microsoft Networks __ b. Dial-Up Adapter
__ c. TCP/IP
reboot, go to step 2 on page 147, add the properties again and reboot your system.
__ 5. LAN and Dial Connections may conflict with each other
Chapter 19. Configuring Microsoft TCP/IP Support on the PC for Windows 95
Before you start, please read.
__ 1. You can use the TCP/IP stack that comes with Windows 95.
__ 2. If you have already configured the Windows 95 TCP/IP support, confirm that it can connect to the AS/400 system by doing the following:
__ a. Check that the AS/400 TCP/IP support is running and that the host servers are started. Type STRTCP at an AS/400 command line to start TCP/IP. Type STRHOSTSVR *ALL at an AS/400 command line to start the host servers.
__ b. If you do not already know the AS/400 IP address, get it by typing CFGTCP on the AS/400 command line. Select Option 1 – Work with TCP/IP interfaces and to display the IP address. IP address
_________________
__ c. Open a PC DOS Prompt window. Enter ’CWBPING <name>’ or
’CWBPING <x.x.x.x>’, where <name> is the name of the AS/400 system and <x.x.x.x> is the IP address for the AS/400 system.
__ d. If CWBPING is successful, skip the rest of this chapter. You have a good connection established.
__ e. If CWBPING fails, go through the remaining items in this chapter.
__ 3. You may need to install or reinstall the Windows 95 TCP/IP support. You may need the Windows 95 CD or install diskettes to do this.
__ 4. You also need to know:
__ a. the IP address of the PC _______________________________
__ b. the Subnet mask value _________________________________
__ c. Whether or not you are using a Domain Name Server _________________
v If you are using a Domain Name Server, its IP address ________________
