WAN Mini-Port is Not Available with the DataFire Basic Adapter WAN Mini-Port is Not Available with the DataFire Basic Adapter

Problem:

I have a DataFire Basic Adapter and cannot establish a connection with dialup networking and Windows9x, because WAN Mini-Port is not available.

Solution:

Under CONTROL PANEL> NETWORK, make sure that WAN Mini-Port is installed correctly. If you do not see it, you will need to install it. To do so you will need the WAN Mini-Port driver, which is in the download file VINWM.EXE.
Check the file TELEPHON.INI file, in the Windows Directory, to see if there is a double entry for WAN.TSP.
(once with and once without a trail entry):

Bad Telephon.ini

NumProviders=4
NextProviderID=5
ProviderID0=1
ProviderFilename0=unimdn.tsp
ProviderFilename1=tspvccm.dll
ProviderID1=2
ProviderID2=3
ProviderFilename2=C:\windows\system\wam.tsp
ProviderID3=4
ProviderFilename3=WAN.TSP
Correct Telephon.ini

NextProviderID=4
ProviderID0=1

ProviderFilename1=tspvccm.dll
ProviderID1=2
ProviderID2=3
ProviderFilename2=C:\windows\system\wam.tsp
NOTE: the last two lines are obsolete.

If this doesn't resolve the problem, you may have a corrupt installation of the Microsoft ISDN Accelerator Pack. Try reinstalling it. Remove the Microsoft ISDN Accelerator Pack V1.1 from CONTROL PANEL> SOFTWARE> WINDOWS SETUP> CONNECTIONS> and install it again using the floppy diskette after restarting the system.

For Example: a:/english/MSISDN11.EXE

If you copy files from the Win95 CD-ROM, it will ask you if the file NDIS.VXD should be kept (default is = YES).
NOTE: It is important that the file be kept.
