 Once again, please make sure you have [[Virtual Modem|VModem]] set up and running and a serial cable is connected between the Raspberry Pi and your Windows 9x computer before attempting the following steps.
-Dial-up Networking has been tested working with a clean install of **Windows 2000**.

   * Some computers have more than one serial port, usually labeled COM1 and COM2 in Windows. We will be using the first serial port COM1. If you have the Raspberry connected on any other port, make adjustments as necessary.
   * Go into the Modem settings and select the Serial COM port the Raspberry is connected to. If you've connected your Raspberry Pi via Serial cable to Serial Port 1 (COM1), select **Communications Port (COM1)**.
-  * In the modem settings, you can change the modem speed from the default 19200 to the speed the Raspberry Virtual Modem is communicating at (by default 57600 bps). Make sure both the speed setting on the script and this setting are the same or the script will not work. If you adjust the script, you may need to restart the script (or if you have it running on boot, restart Raspberry Pi entirely with "sudo shutdown -r now" to restart and reload the script with the new speed setting).

 ===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== Unable to establish any connection to the script ====
+  * It is always a good idea to test the script first using a terminal emulator. Issue simple commands, like HELP or AT to verify the script is responding.
+  * If you get no connection or garbled text, you may try to play with the Flow Control settings. Sometimes you will need to select Hardware, or XON / XOFF for the flow control.
+  * Make sure the serial communication speed matches what the script is operating on.
+  * Make sure you are using the right COM port on the computer or terminal emulation software.
 ==== Unable to connect on dial-up ====
   * Make sure vmodem script is running on Raspberry Pi
   * Did you install the Generic 19.2k modem?
-  * Some computers are not capable of operating at fast serial speeds. If you're unable to connect at 57600 or faster, try slower speeds, such as 9600 baud at first. Adjust both the vmodem.sh script and the computer to connect at only 9600 baud. If that works, work your way up to see where the limit for your specific computer is.

 ==== Dial-up connects, but no websites open ====
   * Most current websites do not support unencrypted HTTP connections. As far as I understand, old operating systems do no longer have valid certificates, and this prevents connections to most websites. You can still explore archived websites using a Wayback Proxy server. See the section [[guides:connecting_windows_9x_to_the_internet#Internet Access|Internet Access]] for more information.
   * If your dial-up connection works, but you're absolutely not able to open any website, even after setting up the proxy server, try checking your IP configuration. In Windows 95, 98 and Me you can view your settings by running **WINIPCFG** from the **Run dialog box**.
