Adjust the Internet Explorer settings to the following: Note Chapter 6—Serial Ports and Modems • Never Dial a connection • Use a LAN connection • Automatically detect settings • Don’t use automatic configuration script • Don’t use a proxy server Useful Web sites that cover this process in more detail include http://www.timhiggins.com/ppd/icsinstall.htm http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Howto/network/win98se/ The following Microsoft Web page answers common questions about Win98SE: http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/faq/ win98se/w98seics.asp If you want the additional benefits of a proxy server, check out products such as WinProxy (www.winproxy.com), WinGate (www.wingate.deerfield.com), and Sybergen SyGate (www.sybergen.com). Many home-oriented networks and modems are bundled with these or similar products, so if you’re in the market for a new modem or are building a small network, ask whether a proxy server program for Internet sharing is included with your home or small-office networking kit.
7 Parallel Ports, Printers, Scanners, and Drives Chapter 7 Parallel Port Connectors Three different types of parallel port connectors are defined by the IEEE-1284 parallel port standard. In Figure 7.1, the DB-25 connector used on <strong>PCs</strong> for parallel cables (also called Type A) is on the left. The Centronics 36 connector (also called Type B) is in the middle. Virtually every parallel-interface printer, from the oldest dot-matrix to the newest laser printer, uses the Type B connector. Hewlett- Packard introduced the Type C connector and has added it to most of its recent laser printers, although it still uses the Type B connector as well. Type C is a high-density connector that uses a cable with an integral clip, as opposed to the clumsy, easy-to-lose wire clips used on the Type B port. 2.089 Type A 2.716 0.840 1284 Type B 1.713 370 1284 Type C Figure 7.1 The three types of IEEE-1284 parallel port connectors. You can see these connectors, along with all the others on the back of your system, in Chapter 14, “Connector Quick Reference.”
