Mac OS 8 & 9

You set up your Mac either using the Internet Setup Assistant or you can set it up manually, meaning the individual components (email, Remote Access, etc.) are configured seperately.

Click here for instructions for the Internet Setup Assistant, or follow the directions below to set it up manually.

If you are not able to find the Internet Setup Assistant you can create a connection manually. The following steps will walk you through setting up the dial up connection. You will still need to configure your email program in order to send and receive email.

Start

  • From the Desktop, click on the Apple icon at the top left hand corner. Then point to Control Panels.

  • Click on TCP/IP.

TCP/IP
  • In the TCP/IP window select these options from the pull-down fields:
    Connect via: PPP
    Configure using: PPP Server

    Leave all other fields blank.


  • Close the TCP/IP window by clicking the box in the upper right hand corner of the window. Save changes when prompted.
Get to Remote Access
  • From the Desktop, click on the Apple icon at the top left hand corner. Then point to Control Panels.

  • Click Remote Access (this may be named PPP).
Remote Access
  • The Remote Access window should have the following information in the fields:

    Name: Your Volcano username
    Password: Your Volcano password
    Phone number: Appropriate dial up phone number for your location.
Remote Access Options
  • Click on the Options button from the Remote Access window.

  • The following tabs should have these options chosen:

    Connection: Connection when using TCP/IP applications
    Reminders: (Optional)
    Protocol: Allow error correction and compression in modem
    Use TCP header compression

  • Click OK from the Options window.

Finish
  • Click Connect to dial up, or close the Remote Access window (save changes when prompted) and then open your browser or email program. The computer should attempt to dial and connect after you open the browser and email program.
