Introduction
This document will guide you through the steps necessary to connect your home computer to the University of Oregon network and subsequently to the Internet. Each step is followed by a picture to clarify what you need to do.
In some cases you will not be able to follow a particular step because your
computer lacks a component shown in that step. Should this occur, click on the
additional steps icon (
)
and we will guide you through that component's installation steps and return
you to this document.
If Windows prompts you to restart, refuse that request, so that you can complete
the steps outlined here with the least amount of interruption. Once these steps
are complete, we may ask you to restart if it is necessary. You may also find
that previewing and/or printing the steps out in advance will make the process
easier to follow. You may be required to have the Windows 98
CD-ROM on hand to complete the tasks outlined here.
Find the icon on your desktop labelled "My
Computer" and
double-click on it.
Double-click on the "Dial-Up Networking" folder.
I don't have a Dial-Up Networking folder.
I can double-click on it, but the folder doesn't open. I see this instead:
Creating a Connection Document
Windows creates documents to store information necessary to activate your network connection. This information includes the phone number you are dialing and your modem type. For many users, one document that connects to the University of Oregon is sufficient. Some purchase additional Internet service from commercial vendors like America Online or USWest. If you have more than one service (or more than one phone number to dial), then you will need to create seperate connection documents for each.
If you just got through the modem discovery process (begining of this document) you will automatically be prompted for a new connection document. If you already have a modem, but need the "UO" connection document then double-click on the "Make New Connection" icon inside the "Dial-Up Networking" folder.
You will be asked to name your connection document. Note that your modem brand name should appear. The example below shows a "SupraFAXModem 288" brand modem. The phone number for UO connectivity is 225-2200. The document name can be anything you like.
You will be prompted for your area code. The area code for Eugene is 541.
Click the "Close" button to continue.
Enter the phone number to dial. If its in the same area code you need not specify the area code.
Click on Finish to complete the creation of your connection document.
Double-click on the "UO" icon.
Enter your UO e-mail address. For example, we have entered "jersmith@uoregon.edu".
The University of Oregon modem number is 225-2200.
After you click connect you should see the following status information:
You will see the following dialog the first time you make a connection. You can uncheck the box if you prefer not to receive the notification message.
There is a small icon (shown below) on the lower right hand side of your screen that indicates you are connected. This icon is important because you have to double-click on it when you are ready to disconnect from the Internet.
You are now connected to the UO network and to
the Internet. Most any network program should now be able to run. Examples of
network programs include Netscape, Internet Explorer, UO Web
Email Link, WS-FTP, Free Agent, Telnet or ssh.
Open a program now that you are connected.
Click on start.
Click on Programs.
Select an application (Email shown below).
UO Web Email.
