The Internet Setup Assistant in OS 9 offers an easy way to set up your dial-up networking. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Assistants folder located on your hard drive and double-click the Internet Setup Assistant icon (alias).

  2. When the Internet Access window displays, the prompt Would you like to set up your computer to use the Internet? displays. Your MSUnet (Pilot) account works as an existing Internet Services Provider (ISP).

    Click yes

  3. The Do you already have an Internet Account window displays. Click Yes
  4. The Introduction window displays and lists some of the information reuired to successfully set up your connection. You will provide the needed information as you complete the remaining steps.
    Click the right arrow, displayed at the lower right corner of the window.

    Note: the Missing or incorrect information window displays if Remote Access is not yet installed. If so, quit the Internet Setup Assistant and install Remote Access. The installer is in the Software Installers folder of the OS 9 CD.

  5. Type a name in the corresponding box (we suggest Michnet). Leave Modem selected under the How will you be connecting? question.

    Click on the right arrow. The Modem settings window displays.

  6. Make the appropriate selections. If your modem is not listed, contact the manufacturer.

    You may need to select the Ignore dial tone box if:

    • Your phone line does not have a dialtone,
    • You have campus or outside voicemail.

    Click on the right arrow. The Configuration information window displays.

  7. Enter the following information:

    Your CySpace City Login
    Password
    Your CySpace City password


  8. The PPP Connect Scripts window displays. Select No and click the right arrow to continue.

  9. Click the right arrow. The I.P. address window displays.

  10. There is not an I.P. address assigned to you, so select No. Click the right arrow.

    The Domain Name Servers window displays.

    Enter the following DNS addresses, on separate lines, in the first box:

    198.6.1.2
    198.6.1.3

  11. Enter the following Domain Name in the smaller box:

    cyspacecity.net

    Click the right arrow.

  12. The Email address and password window displays. This information, and information on the remaining windows, is optional.

    Click on the right arrow until the Conclusion window displays.

  13. To make your changes, click on the Go Ahead button. If you do not want to connect when finished, uncheck that option.

    Note:
    if you are using both ethernet and dial-up networking, please note that the Assistant automatically switches your TCP/IP connection from ethernet to PPP. Use the connection icon in the control strip, or the TCP/IP control panel (File | Configurations) to switch between the connections.

Using dial-up networking

There are several ways to connect once your set up is complete. Most are self-explanatory.

  • All Macs with Open Transport and Open Transport PPP have the PPP (Remote Access) control panel. Click on the Connect button.
  • Many Macs, especially those with OS 8.x and 9.x, have a connection icon in the control strip.

Troubleshooting

Please refer to our Dial-up Assistant Troubleshooting page if you experience difficulties after following these steps.
