Intstallation


Foreword:

The installation of TNIUT is simple. You just have to install the "server" part in the main computer, ie the computer which has modem to connect to the internet, and other computers in the LAN share internet connection from this main computer. You can Identify the Server setup file by its icon, which looks like this:

You will have to install the client the "client" part in the other computers that are connected to the "Server" computer via LAN and share internet connection with the Server computer. There are 2 types of Client setup files.The setup file for windows 98, windows ME, windows XP can be identified by the icon which looks like this:
The setup file for windows NT (4.0 or higher) and windows 2000 can be identified by the icon which looks like this: . Please note the different color in the "NT" written the icon of client setup files.

How to Install:

Once you identify and choose the correct installation files(see the "foreword" section, above), the installation of this software is very easy. Just double click on the Server setup file for the installation of the server and Client setup file for installation of the client. There are few things to be noted:
  1. Server software works well on Windows 98 or higher, which includes Win98SE, WinME and WinXP. It has not been tested on Windows 95. It also works on Windows NT 4 or higher, which includes Windows 2000. It will not work in Operating systems other than Windows.

  2. There are separate setup files of client software to be installed in Windows 98 and Windows NT. The Client setup file for Windows 98 will work on Win98SE, WinME and WinXP. The Client setup file for Windows NT will work on Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000.

  3. During installation, you may sometimes get a message that a certain ".dll" file could not be Regestered properly, or the Entry point was not found. In such cases, you should click "Ignore" to continue installation. This will cause no problem. This happens if you have multiple program running during installation, and one or more of those programs are using the specified ".dll" file. To prevent such message, it is recommended to close maximum number of programs before beginning installation. However, in Windows NT, such messages may sometimes be unavoidable, especially with files such as Asycfilt.dll, and Iphlpapi.dll. But it will cause no problem.

  4. You can straightaway start configuring the software after installation, but restart is recommended.

  5. Always install and configure Server software before starting installation of client. This is useful as mentioned in the "Configuration" section.

Installation Procedure Proper:

Once you double click on the setup file:

Installation Problems:

  1. During setup, a messagebox appears saying "Error in registering *.dll (or *.ocx or *.tlb), a copy of the file is running" (where * = name of the file) or something like this. If message like this appears when you are installing TNIUT, you just ignore the message and continue with installation, and restart the computer after installation. The mentioned *.dll file was replaced by a newer *.dll file and since the older version was present in the memory, the message appears.

No other problem has been found so far during installation of TNIUT server. If you find any other problem, Please report the problem to: http://nepalitimer.tripod.com/.
