Q


How do I setup Mac OS X to connect to your service?

A

OS X has simplified the task of configuring your Total Net NH, LLC connection by placing all the settings within one window. To get to that window click your Apple Menu and choose "System Preferences".

Once "System Preferences" is showing, choose "Network" (as shown below).

Once you have the "Network" window showing:

  • Click the arrow box on the "Show" drop-down list and choose "Internal Modem".
  • Click on the PPP tab to select it if it is not selected.
  • Enter your username in the Account Name field.
  • Enter your password in the Password field.
  • Enter the dialup number that is local to your area in the Telephone Number field.
    Note: These instructions use our Concord access number.
    If Concord is not a toll free call for you, please choose another from our Dial Up Access list.
  • Click the Save Password check box.

  • Finally, click the "TCP/IP" tab and fill in the entries as shown in the screenshot below.
  • Click the arrow box on the "Configure" drop-down menu and choose "Using PPP".
  • In the "Domain Name Servers" box, type the number indicated.
  • In the "Search Domains" box, type "totalnetnh.net".

  • Now click "Apply Now".
  • That's it! Your Mac OS X system is configured for internet access.

Now Connect and verify

  • Open Internet Connect. It's in the Applications folder.
  • Be sure the Configuration pop-up menu is set to your modem.
  • Click the Connect button.
  • Once Internet Connect says you're connected, open a Web browser or other Internet (TCP/IP) application to make sure your connection works
