- Search Again SUMMARY Frequently Asked Questions about LapLink's LinkToNet Feature SOLUTION Will LinkToNet work with Windows 2000?
Yes, LinkToNet can be used on a machine running Windows 2000. In order to use this feature you will need to have LapLink 2000 version 301 or higher. To check the version, please look at the last three digits on the back of your LapLink installation CD case. If you require an update, please contact Technical Support. LinkToNet is not currently compatible with any version of Windows 2000. This is due to the changes currently occurring within the operating system as it finishes its beta tests. When a release version is finalized, LapLink.com will issue an update to enable LinkToNet in that OS.
Is it required that LapLink 2000 or LapLink Gold be installed on a guest computer before it can connect to a LinkToNet Host?
LapLink 2000 or LapLink Gold do not have to be installed to use LinkToNet as a client. You can use any Microsoft Dial-Up Networking client to make a connection to a LinkToNet host, and then use any Internet enabled application across the connection.
Note: You will not be able to use any of LapLink's features with this scenario.
In LapLink, I have my modem set to use a COM port directly rather than through Windows TAPI. Will LinkToNet work for me?
LinkToNet will only work with Windows TAPI. If you enable a COM port for a LapLink legacy modem setting, LinkToNet will not function.
I'm running Windows 95. Are there any other requirements for me to work as a LinkToNet Host?
Dial-Up Networking version 1.3 or Windows Sockets 2.0 must be installed in order to serve as a LinkToNet host on a Windows 95 machine.
What kind of ISDN support is there with LinkToNet?
There is currently no support for CAPI 2.0 in LinkToNet. The only way to utilize ISDN modems with LinkToNet is to use them as a digital modem, available through the Windows Modems dialogue. Finally, we have found greater success when the ISDN devices are used as single channel devices, rather than being channel bonded.
I use 3Com IQ ISDN Devices. Why am I having so many problems with using LinkToNet?
The 3Com IQ ISDN devices include a feature setting that makes them PPP aware. This setting allows the modems to act as an IP device, similar to the function that LinkToNet provides. However, when LinkToNet is trying to connect, this capability prevents LinkToNet from performing its function. To make this ISDN devices connect with LinkToNet, it must be configured to the use the V.120 protocol. Check with your product documentation or 3Com Technical Support for assistance in doing this.
I'm using a Windows Standard Modem driver. Will I be able to use LinkToNet easily?
LinkToNet is sensitive to proper modem initialization and speed settings. Undersetting the modem speed compared to it's capability (i.e., setting the speed to 19,200 BPS when the modem is capable of 28,800 BPS), or using a generic initialization file, may cause LinkToNet to fail. We recommend you use the proper initialization file (INF file) for your modem. Please contact your modem manufacturer in order to obtain the installation files and information concerning the modem speed.
Is LinkToNet compatible with WinFax Pro's call discrimination?
