Configuring TCP/IP

To use the Java WorkShop debugger, you must install and configure TCP/IP software on your Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT system.

Microsoft Windows 95

To install TCP/IP on your computer:
  1. From the Windows 95 Start menu, select Settings -> Control Panel.
  2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Network icon.
  3. In the Configuration tab of the Network window, click Add.
  4. In the Select Network Component Type window, select the Protocol item from the list and click Add.
  5. In the Select Network Protocol window, select Microsoft from the Manufacturers pane, and select TCP/IP from the Network pane. Click OK.
  6. In the Select Device window, select Microsoft from the Manufacturers pane. Dial-Up Adapter is automatically selected in the Models pane. Click OK.
  7. TCP/IP (as well as a number of other components) should now appear in the Network window components pane. Click OK in the Network window. A window appears to indicate that the protocols are being installed.
  8. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

If your computer is set up to prompt you whenever it uses dial-up networking, you will see the same prompt when you start the Java WorkShop debugger (once per Java WorkShop session). If you want to discontinue dial-up prompting, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click on the My Computer icon.
  2. In the My Computer window, double-click on the Dial-Up Networking icon.
  3. From the main menu, choose Connections -> Settings.
  4. Click on Don't prompt to use Dial-Up Networking.

Microsoft Windows NT

Use these instructions to install TCP/IP on a Windows NT standalone machine. These instructions describe one method of installation; there are others that work as well.

If your machine is part of a network and you are encountering this error, please contact your system administrator.

To install TCP/IP on a Standalone System:

  1. In the Main window, double-click on the Control Panel icon.
  2. In the Control Panel, double-click on the Network icon.
  3. Click Yes when prompted whether to install networking. This starts the Windows NT Setup program.
  4. In the Window NT Setup dialog box, type the path of the Windows NT distribution files.
  5. In the Network Adapter Card Detection dialog box, click Do Not Detect.
  6. In the Network Adapter Card Detection dialog box, click Continue.
  7. In the Windows NT TCP/IP Installation Options dialog box, click Continue.
  8. In the Add Network Adapter dialog box, choose MS Loopback Adapter from the Network Adapter Card list. Click Continue.
  9. In MS Loopback Adapter Card Setup dialog box, click Continue to accept the default value.
  10. In the Windows NT Setup dialog box, make sure that the TCP/IP Transport item is selected and click Continue.
  11. In the Windows NT TCP/IP Installation Options dialog box, make sure that the Connectivity Utilities item is selected and click Continue.
  12. In the Network Settings dialog box, click OK.
  13. In the TCP/IP Configuration dialog box:
    1. In the IP Address field, type: 1.1.1.1
    2. In the Subnet Mask field, type: 255.0.0.0
    3. Click OK.
  14. In the Domain/Workgroup Settings dialog box, click OK.
  15. Click Restart to restart the system and make the changes effective.
