Battery-operated modem

Situation:

Internet FastFind is not communicating with your battery operated or pocket modem. You have successfully used this setup in the past, and you have not made any changes to the setup or configuration of either Internet FastFind or your modem since then.

Solution:

Your modem may be deactivated or in "deep-sleep" mode. This is common among battery-operated pocket modems. The modem automatically shuts itself down after a certain period of inactivity.

Turn off the modem for a few seconds, then turn it back on to bring it out of deep-sleep mode.


Checking for phone line problems

If you encounter a transmission error due to a phone-line problem, it is probably related to a bad line (noisy, busy, and so on). Since the condition causing the problem may be temporary, it is best to wait, then try connecting to your Internet service provider again. If the line problem persists, contact your local phone company.


Checking modem connections

Check the connection between the modem and the phone line. Make sure that the phone line is properly attached to the phone jack on the wall. Also, check that the phone line is connected to the line jack on the modem and not to the extension jack for a telephone. The phone line should come directly from the wall jack and into the modem.

If you have an external modem, turn it off and on again to reset it. If you have an internal modem, you can reset it by exiting Windows and turning off the computer, then waiting ten seconds before turning the computer back on.


Checking the basics first

The following information outlines a basic troubleshooting routine you can try first before looking to other solutions. It is designed to address a wide variety of situations that may contribute to system instability, and hence to problems with Internet FastFind.

Situation:

Any of the following situations occur when sending or receiving data:

intermittent failures

program failures

system lockups.

Solution:

Try the following problem-solving package:

checking for phone line problems

checking modem connections (if you use a modem to connect to the Internet)

deleting Windows temporary files

checking your hard disk and repairing disk problems

You can try each of these steps individually to solve your problem, or perform the entire procedure to troubleshoot your system.


Checking your hard disk
Checking your hard disk and repairing disk problems

Run ScanDisk to locate and repair file system errors on your hard disk. Before running ScanDisk, check your Windows 95 documentation. This procedure should be part of your regular system maintenance for Windows 95.

If you use a disk-compression program, check the program's manual to see if using ScanDisk is recommended.

To run ScanDisk:

1	On the Windows desktop, double-click My Computer.

2	Select the disk drive you want to scan. Typically, this is your C: drive.

3	On the File menu, click Properties. The Properties dialog appears.

4	Click the Tools tab.

5	In the Error-Checking Status section, click Check Now. The ScanDisk dialog appears.

6	Select the disk drive you want to check.

7	In the Type Of Test section, select Thorough and check Automatically Fix Errors.

8	Click Start. ScanDisk checks the disk and repairs any errors.


Closing WebLaunch

To close WebLaunch:

1	Click the WebLaunch icon in the clock area.

2	Select Close WebLaunch.

This will remove WebLaunch from memory, and remove the WebLaunch icon from the clock area.


Compressing a file (or files)
Compressing files and folders

To compress one or more files:

1	Launch Explorer.

2	Select the files you want to compress.

3	Select EasyZIP from the File menu.

or

Right-click the selected file(s) and select EasyZIP from the context menu.

Do one of the following:

4a	Select To to place the selected file(s) in a compression file [image] new or existing [image] of your choice. The EasyZIP dialog box appears.

Enter the name of the compression file. You can use the Browse button to select a different folder or an existing compression file.

If you want to create a self-extracting archive, select Yes. If you do, you can specify an action to take after the file(s) are extracted. (For explanations of those actions, right-click them and view the What's This help.)

4b	Select In Place to create a compression file with the same root file name as the selected file. (For example, if you compress THISFILE.DOC "In Place," the resulting compression file will be named THISFILE.ZIP.)

In Place is available only when compressing a single file.

The resulting compression file will be located in the same parent folder as the original folder.

To compress one or more folders:

Follow the same steps, but select one or more folders instead of one or more files.

Notes:

All files in the selected folder(s) will be compressed into the compression file.

If you compress more than one folder, EasyZIP will create a folder within the compression file for each folder you compress, and the individual files will be placed in the appropriate folders.


Configuring EasyFTP

Installing Internet FastFind automatically configures all mandatory settings for EasyFTP. However, when connecting to an FTP site as an anonymous user, Internet etiquette dictates that you use your email address for a password.

To configure EasyFTP:

1	Right-click the EasyFTP icon on the desktop, then select Open.

2	Right-click anywhere in the list of FTP groups except on a group name, then select Properties.

3	In the EasyFTP Properties dialog box, enter your email address under Email Address For Anonymous Login.


Configuring Internet FastFind

Several of the Internet FastFind tools can be integrated with Windows, giving you access to those tools from the desktop, the taskbar, and several Explorer menus.

To configure Internet FastFind:

1	Launch the Internet FastFind console.

2	Click Options.

3	In the Internet FastFind Options dialog box, configure the integration of the individual tools.

To display an explanation of each option, right-click the setting in the dialog box, then click What's This.

Note:

For instructions on configuring the individual Internet FastFind tools, view the help for each tool.


Configuring WebLaunch

If WebLaunch detects both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer on your system, you can configure WebLaunch to display either Netscape "bookmarks" or Internet Explorer "favorites" or both. You can also choose to launch the URLs in the WebLaunch list with the default or the "parent" browser.

To configure the WebLaunch pop-up list:

1	Right-click the WebLaunch icon in the clock area. A check mark [image] appears to the left of the currently displayed list(s).

2	Check either Show Netscape Bookmarks or Show Internet Explorer Favorites or both to include the corresponding list of URLs in the WebLaunch list. Uncheck either item to exclude either list.

To select the browser to use with bookmarks and favorites:

1	Right-click the WebLaunch icon in the clock area.

2	To use the default browser to link to both Netscape bookmarks and  Microsoft favorites, make sure Launch With Default Browser is checked on the menu. If this option is unchecked, each URL will be launched using the browser that created it.

Note:

Configure the contents of either list using the corresponding Web browser.


Configuring an existing FTP site

When you add an FTP site to the EasyFTP, you specify the basic settings needed to connect to the FTP site. Once you have added it, you may change any of its properties at any time.

To configure an FTP site:

1	Right-click the folder for the FTP site, then select Properties.

2	In the Properties dialog box, enter appropriate new settings. (View the What's This help for each setting, as needed.)


Connecting to an FTP site

To connect to an FTP site with EasyFTP:

Open or expand the folder for the FTP site.

Notes:

EasyFTP treats FTP sites just like an Explorer folder. In Explorer, when you select a folder in the tree on the left pane of the Explorer window, the folders and files within that folder are displayed in the list in the right pane. Similarly, when you select the folder for an FTP site in the tree, EasyFTP connects to the FTP site and displays the files and folders at that site. Of course, there will be a short delay while EasyFTP actually connects to the site, but otherwise, using EasyFTP is as easy as using Explorer.

If your company has set up an Internet firewall to provide network security, EasyFTP might be blocked from accessing FTP servers. Contact your system administrator if EasyFTP cannot connect with any FTP sites.

Copying files from FTP sites

To copy files from an FTP site to your PC:

Use the same methods available in Explorer to copy files from folder to folder on your PC.

Note:

You can not move files from an FTP site to your PC since doing so would delete the files at the FTP site and FTP sites do not usually allow that. Even if you have delete privileges at the FTP site, you must move a file in two steps: first copy the file to your PC then delete the file at the FTP site.


Creating a Notify item for an FTP site
Creating a Notify item for an FTP folder or file

To create a Notify item for an FTP folder or file:

1	Right-click the folder or file.

This starts the Notify Add Item wizard which will prompt you for any additional information needed to create the Notify item.


Creating a folder of favorite FTP sites

EasyFTP comes configured with three FTP groups [image] Entertainment, Hardware Vendors, and Software Vendors. You can create your own FTP group and copy your favorite or most frequently visited FTP sites into it.

To create your own FTP Group:

See Adding a New FTP Site Group

To copy an FTP site into your new group:

1	Right-click the EasyFTP icon on the desktop and select Explore. This opens a two-pane Explorer window (with the tree list in the left pane).

2	Expand the FTP Group that contains the site you want to copy by clicking the [image] next to its name in the tree list.

3	Right-click the site you want to copy and select Copy from the pop-up menu.

4	Select the new FTP group in the tree list.

5	Select Paste from the File menu.

6	Repeat for other sites you want to add to your group of favorites.

Tip:

You can add a site to your new group that is not already in the EasyFTP list. See Adding An FTP Site [image].


Deleting Windows temporary files

Windows 95 and many Windows programs create temporary files. Sometimes these temporary files can become damaged or they are not deleted when they should be. This often occurs if you reboot or turn off your computer without properly exiting Windows.

To ensure that Windows temporary files do not become a problem, you should routinely delete these files as part of your regular system maintenance for Windows 95.

1	Close any programs you are running.

2	Click the Windows Start button, then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog appears.

3	Click Restart The Computer In MS-DOS Mode.

Problems with your PCMCIA modem
Communication problems with your PCMCIA modem

Situation:

Internet FastFind is unable to communicate with your PCMCIA modem.

Solution:

All PCMCIA modems rely on software drivers to operate. Software drivers control how the notebook computer connects to and operates with the PCMCIA modem. Most of the problems that arise with PCMCIA drivers and Internet FastFind have to do with either the driver software itself, or how it is set up and working with the notebook.

Make sure that you have the latest PCMCIA driver software from your notebook manufacturer. Typically, the version number of these drivers can be found on the PCMCIA diskettes that come with the modem or your notebook computer. Call your notebook manufacturer and ask for the date and version of their latest PCMCIA modem driver software.

Notebook manufacturers often know the best way to configure PCMCIA cards to work with their notebooks. Check with your notebook manufacturer to see that your PCMCIA modem settings are correct.

Tip:

Use PatchConnect to track down the latest drivers for you modem.

What does EasyFTP do?

EasyFTP gives you easy access to FTP sites on the Internet by adding them to the folder tree in Windows Explorer.

To explore an FTP site, just expand the "folder" for an FTP site. EasyFTP comes preconfigured with many popular FTP sites and lets you add others.

Internet FastFind Help Contents


What does EasyZIP do?

EasyZIP lets you extract files from within a compression file and compress one or more files into a compression file.

Many files you retrieve from the Internet will be compressed (reduced in size) to use up less disk space and minimize download time. EasyZIP lets you easily extract files from within several common types of compression files [image] ZIP, ARC, and LZH. EasyZIP is built right into the Windows Explorer interface and appears on menus as either "EasyZIP" or "EasyUnZIP," depending on what files or folders you have selected. You can also use EasyZIP to compress one or more files into a compression file.

Notes:

You can recognize a compression file by its file extension [image] "ZIP," "ARC," or "LZH."

The different types of compression files use different mathematical algorithms to compress and store the source files.

EasyZIP can also create a special type of compression file called a self-extracting archive. A self-extracting archive is stored in the form of an executable (.EXE) file. To extract the compressed files, simply run the EXE file. (EasyZIP uses ZIP algorithms for all self-extracting archives.

Compression file

A file that contains one or more other files that have been compressed (reduced in size) using one of several mathematical compression algorithms. These are often called "archives" or ZIP files.

EasyZIP supports three types of compression files: ZIP (the default), ARC, and LZH. Each type uses a different compression algorithm and has the extension "ZIP," "ARC," or "LZH."

EasyZIP can also create a self-extracting archive using ZIP algorithms.


pop EasyFTP Console
EasyFTP

Gives you easy access to FTP sites on the Internet by adding them to the folder tree in Windows Explorer. To explore an FTP site, just expand the "folder" for an FTP site. EasyFTP comes preconfigured with many popular FTP sites and lets you add others.


pop EasyZIP Console
EasyZIP

Lets you extract files from a compression file (ZIP, ARC, or LZH) and lets you compress one or more files into a compression file. Most files you get from the Internet are compressed to use less storage space and reduce transmission time. EasyZIP lets you extract the contents of compression files so you can use them.


pop LiveUpdate Console
LiveUpdate

Links directly to the Symantec Internet site, downloads the latest update, patch, or add-in for your Symantec software, and installs it.


pop NetFileFind Console
NetFileFind

Searches FTP sites on the Internet for files or folders by name. With a user interface similar to the Windows Find feature, NetFileFind lets you enter all or part of a file name and search FTP sites on the Internet for that file. When found, just drag and drop the file to your PC.


pop Notify Console
Notify

Monitors Web pages, FTP files or folders, and files or folders on your PC or network and notifies you when they change. You specify the items to monitor and schedule how frequently Notify checks them. Notify alerts you when they change and even lets you download them automatically.


pop PatchConnect Console
PatchConnect

Searches your PC and creates an inventory of the hardware and software on your system. It creates and displays a customized "tree" of Internet sites for the vendors of your software and hardware. It lets you link directly to the Web or FTP site for your specific piece of software or hardware with your Web browser.


pop Self-extracting archive
Self-extracting archive

A compression file stored in the form of an executable (EXE) file.

To extract files from a self-extracting archive, simply run the file.

EasyZIP uses ZIP algorithms to create self-extracting archives.


pop WebFind Console
WebFind

Searches the Internet's World Wide Web, using several major search engines simultaneously, for documents containing words or phrases that you specify. It removes duplicate documents, removes advertising, prioritizes the remaining documents, and displays the results in your Web browser. You browse the search results page and jump to sites that interest you by clicking hypertext links.


pop WebLaunch Console
WebLaunch

Gives you access to any Web page or FTP site in your Web browser's list of "bookmarks" or "favorites" directly from your PC desktop. Click the WebLaunch icon in the Windows taskbar and WebLaunch pops up a cascading menu of your favorite links as maintained by Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
