ABSTRACT:
Networking software is configured for connecting to the Internet with a set-up automation software without disturbing the networking software's configuration for connecting to another computer network, such as a corporate local area network. Where installing the TCP/IP network protocol for communicating on the Internet also causes binding to a device configured for connecting to the other computer network, the set-up automation software records whether the TCP/IP network protocol was previously bound to that device and unbinds the TCP/IP network protocol from the device after installing the TCP/IP network protocol if not previously bound to the device. The set-up automation software also unbinds file and printer sharing services from a device used for connecting to the Internet. Where a dial-up device is used for connecting to the Internet, a dial-time security check and configuration check software verifies that the network software is correctly and securely configured for connecting to the Internet. The dial-time check software warns the user and corrects the configuration if the configuration is incorrect or insecure.
