BH> How's this from the In-Joy Q & A?
BH> QUESTION: How do I set up a default route and nameserver on a       
BH>    Win95 system?
BH>       ON THE 95 MACHINE
BH>       o Go to the Network settings in your settings folder.
BH>       o Choose TCP/IP, then properties.
BH>       o Make the IP address of your Warp station the ONLY entry in
BH> your         gateway page.
BH>       o Make sure you DISABLE WINS.
BH>       o Use the IP address of your ISP's Domain Name Server for the
BH> DNS         Configuration page. That is: Use the DNS IP address that
BH> your         Warp machine shows in the RESOLV file in the \tcpip\etc
BH>         directory when you are logged into the Internet.
We don't use '95 but NT should be the same.
The only thing we do differently is use batch files,
If the In-joy system was 172.22.1.3 on the
NT system we would use:
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.22.1.3
to stop the NT  using the In-joy system it takes:
route delete 0.0.0.0
We prefer having simple batch files rather than clicking
through several setup menus . The DNS
stays the same, as everything else on the NT system,
the only thing that needs changing from a direct dial up
connection up is adding the 0.0.0.0 route. Although
using the DNS on the local provider is best,
any DNS will do so changing providers doesn't make too
much difference either. It will work if the In-joy
system is connected to a different provider than the
one setup in NT, although it may be a bit slower
looking up addresses. It appears that if the NT
system works calling a provider directly, all
that is needed is adding the new temporary route
through the IN-Joy system. The In-joy system does
all the real work :)
