Connecting to tdl from Windows NT


  1. Open the group "Main" and open the "Control Panel," click on "Network." Click on "Add Software Packages."
  2. Select and install RAS (Remote Access Service).
  3. Install the TCP/IP package.

  5. You will be prompted to re-boot, say "No."
  6. Before rebooting, backup your "\winnt\system32\ras\switch.inf" file, because you need to overwrite it with the following script:

    [Auto-login for NT]
    ; Wait until we get the "login:" prompt
    COMMAND=
    OK=<match>"ogin:"
    LOOP=<ignore>
    
    ; Give the account and wait for "password:" prompt
    
    COMMAND=<username><cr>
    OK=<match>"assword:"
    LOOP=<ignore>
    
    ; Give the password and ignore response (we're done)
    COMMAND=<password><cr>
    OK=<ignore>
    ----End switch.inf----
    
  7. Reboot.
