The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
SUMMARY
This article describes how to create a Ppplog.txt file.
You can use the Ppplog.txt file to troubleshoot problems using the PPP line
protocol with the Microsoft dial-up adapter. The file contains a detailed
listing of the steps that occur during a remote access connection using PPP.
MORE INFORMATION
To create a Ppplog.txt file, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,
and then double- click Network.
- Click Dial-Up Adapter, and then click Properties.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- In the Property box, click Record A Log File.
- In the Value box, click Yes.
- Click OK until you return to Control Panel.
The next time you attempt a PPP connection, the Ppplog.txt file is created. The
file is located in the Windows folder and can be edited using any text editor or
word processor. If the file already exists, new information is appended to it.
NOTE: If you do not use the Ppplog.txt file for troubleshooting problems you
should disable its creation, because the file can become quite large after you
make several connections. Also, the name of the modem log file is based on the
modem that is installed. For example, if you are using a Practical Peripherals
PM288HC II v.34 modem, then the name of the log file will be Practical
Peripherals PM288HC II v.34.log.
