How do I setup Mac Pre OS 8.0 to connect to your service?

Apple really didn't get serious about the Internet until OS 8.0 - for this reason, there are many different pieces of software that can connect your computer to the Internet. What follows is documentation for the most prevalent of the software: MacTCP, and Apple's TCP/IP.

To find out which software you have:

1. Click on your "Apple Menu" (upper left).

2. Choose "Control Panels".

3. In this listing, search for either MacTCP or TCP/IP and then click on it and follow your set of instructions below.

1. When the MacTCP comes up, click on the "More" button.
2. Towards the bottom-right corner of the screen, you'll see two rows. Take a look at the screenshot below, and fill in the names and numbers as indicated.
   
   

3. Now, go to the "File" menu and then go to "Quit". Make sure you save the changes when prompted.
4. Click here to perform the final steps.

1. Change the settings on the screen so that they look like the following:
   
   
   

2. That is everything you need to do. Just exit out of that screen making sure to save changes if you are asked. Your upgrade is now complete.

3. Click here to perform the final steps.

Again, depending on what software you are using, you'll click on something different. The instructions below will work in either PPP or FreePPP. If you do not have these listed, give us a call at 225-0038.

1. Click on your "Apple Menu" (upper left).

2. Choose "Control Panels".

3. In this listing, search for either PPP or FreePPP and then click on it.

4. Insert your username, your password, and "225-0038" as your phone number in the relevant spaces. Once you've done that, close the window (by clicking the box in the upper left hand corner).

5. If a window pops up that asks if you want to save your settings, you'll want to click "Yes", "OK", or whatever the affirmative option is.
