/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Description & Overview
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

RideWay PN is the award-winning integrated proxy server application with core virtual
private networking ("VPN") capabilities. Internally, RideWay PN's proxy server features
allow two or more networked computers to securely share a single Internet connection
(e.g. dial-up, cable modem, DSL, ISDN, T-1, etc.) simultaneously. RideWay PN's security
firewall features allow an adminsitrator to restrict and/or monitor Internet activity
among your client computers. Externally, RideWay's VPN features allow you to create
a company-wide private network over the Internet among two or more points (e.g. Corporate
Office, Branch Office, Telecommuters, Mobile Work Force) connected to the Internet. All 
offices can have share internal network resources (e.g. web servers, file servers, web
databases, email) securely. All data transferred among the points is encrypted to ensure
security. The software is installed onto a single Windows 95/NT/98 machine at each location and requires
no additional hardware or software is required for the other networked computers. 
RideWay PN is Y2K compliant.

STEP 1: Configuring TCP/IP For the Server PC
===========================================

WINDOWS 95/98

* On a Windows 95/98 PC, click "Start" 
* Click "Settings" 
* Click "Control Panel" 
* Double-click "Network"

Under the "Configuration" tab, check if TCP/IP is installed. 
If "TCP/IP" appears somewhere in "The following network components 
are installed" box, then it is installed. Otherwise follow these 
steps to install TCP/IP software.

* Click "Add" 
* Double-click "Protocol" 
* Under "Manufacturers, click "Microsoft" 
* Click "TCP/IP"
* Click "OK"

You should now be brought back to the "Configuration" tab.

* Double-click "TCP/IP->your LAN Card".
 
When the TCP/IP properties for the LAN card appears,

* Click "IP Address" tab
* Click "Specify an IP address" 
* In "IP Address", Enter "192.168.1.1" 
* In "Subnet Mask", Enter "255.255.255.0" 
* Click "DNS Configuration" tab
* Click "Enable DNS"
* Enter a Host and Domain (rideway and itserv.com for example)
* Enter the DNS server provided by your ISP
* Click "OK"

You should now be brought back to the "Configuration" tab.

* Double-click "TCP/IP->Dial-Up adapter".
* Click "IP Address" tab
* Click "Obtain an IP address automatically"
* Click "OK"
* Click "OK" again 

Windows 95/98 will now tell you that "You must restart your computer 
before the new settings will take effect. Do you want to restart 
your computer now?" Click "Yes".

* click "Start" 
* Click "Settings" 
* Click "Control Panel" 
* Double-click "Network"
* Select the "Protocols" tab
* Double-click on "TCP/IP Protocol"

  not connected to your ISP. 
* Click "OK" 
* Back at the RideWay main screen, click "Server" 
* Click "Server Control"
* Proxy Ports for client PCs (you may need to disable the HTTP
  proxy or reassign it to a different port such as 8080 if you
  are running a Web Server)

	- SOCKS4 (port 1080) is used for browsing and other
  	  applications and should be enabled
	- HTTP (port 80) will allow you to connect to secure
	  web sites and is used for many other applications
	- FTP (port 21) is used for the FTP protocol
	- POP3 (port 110) allows client PCs to retrieve email
	- DNS (port 53) MUST be checked to allow web browsing
	  and name resolution
	- Telnet (port 23) is used for the Telnet protocol
	- RealPlayer (port 1090) is used for streaming media

* Under Advanced, enter the SMTP server supplied by your ISP
  if you need to send email from client PCs with programs other
  than Netscape. Also check the ICQ box if you would like to use
  ICQ from a client PC (icq.mirabilis.com port 4000 is the default).
* The TCP and UDP mapping sections allow you to open specific
  ports in RideWay for unique applications.
* Click "OK"
* Click "OK" again to restart the RideWay Server
