Mac OS 9 comes with everything you need to set up service to Humboldt Internet. It includes Internet Explorer for web service and Outlook Express for your email needs.

• If you bought your computer new and Mac OS 9 was previously installed on your computer you will need to open up the Internet Setup Assistant in the Assistants folder on the hard disk.

• If you are upgrading from the Apple Internet Connection Kit, look in the Internet folder for the upgrade utility and follow those instructions.

• If you’re upgrading from a previous version of system software make sure that one of the items being installed is the Internet. During the upgrade process the Internet Setup Assistant is loaded, so just follow these instructions.

Having strange connection problems? It has been noted by us that the Additional Search Domains area in the TCP/IP control panel is sometimes empty by mistake. If you have errors having Netscape or Eudora connect to our site, open the TCP/IP control panel and confirm that humboldt1.com is located in the Additional Search Domains box.

After all this, you may have to reboot the Mac, but in most cases you’re ready to get on the internet!

To connect to Humboldt Internet go into the Control Panels folder and open the Remote Access control panel to dial-in. From here you can also check to see that you have the right phone number selected and that the user name is configured correctly.

Once you’ve successfully connected locate Internet Explorer on your hard drive (it was probably installed when OS 9 was loaded) and double-click on its icon to start it up. From there you can go to our Web page and find helpful tutorials. You also have a paper copy of our tutorial in your welcome packet.
