This article describes how to determine whether your Windows 95-based DUN client supports this level of encryption. MORE INFORMATION ================ To determine if your DUN client supports 128-bit encryption, use the following steps: 1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. In the Named box, type "pppmac.vxd" (without the quotation marks), and then click Find Now. 2. In the list of found files, right-click the Pppmac.vxd file in the Windows\System folder, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Version tab. 4. In the Item Name box, click Internal Name. If your computer is capable of using 128-bit encryption, the text in the Value box displays: PPPMAC (US/Canada Only, Not for Export) For additional information about 128-bit encryption, see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q169895 Enabling 128-bit Encryption for Routing and Remote Access Q172215 How to Force 128-bit Data Encryption for RAS Additional query words: encrypt encrypted secure ====================================================================== Keywords : kbnetwork dun win95 kbDialUp Technology : kbWin95search kbWin98search kbWin98SEsearch kbZNotKeyword3 kbWin98 kbWin98SE Version : WINDOWS:; Win2000:95 Issue type : kbhowto ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
