CONFIGURATION - SECOND STAGE
Go back to the "Dial-up Networking" folder. Your new connection should be shown there.
Right click on the icon and select "Properties"
On the first page, "General", make sure no digits are displayed in the area code box, and make sure "Use area code and dialing properties" is unchecked (it's checked by default)
On the next page, "Server Types", the server type can be various things (if it's greyed out, it's unchangeable and right!), but should refer to some sort of PPP connection. If not, continue anyway and if you have no luck call for help.
The boxes underneath are where Windows gets it wrong!
Only "Enable Software Compression" and "TCP/IP" should be checked. Uncheck all others.
Now click on the TCP/IP settings box. This is where the fun starts!
The "addresses" you are being asked to input consist of a set of four numbers, between 0 and 255. Your ISP will have given you these.
Unless you have an ADSL connection, you will be using a dynamic IP. Check the "server assigned IP" box, and that's all you will need to do for that.
However, the Spanish (unlike the UK and US) ISPs do not use server assigned DNS (name server) addresses, and you will need to enter these. The WINS settings will always be 0.0.0.0
For Wanadoo, the Primary DNS is 62.37.228.20 and the secondary DNS 62.36.220.75
For Terra, the Primary DNS is 195.235.113.3 and the secondary DNS 195.235.96.90
For Eresmas, the Primary DNS is 62.81.16.197 and the secondary DNS 62.81.0.1
"Use IP compression header" and "Use default gateway" should both be checked.
Click on "OK". Don't touch the scripting and multilink pages.
Go back to the "General" page and click OK.
