If you installed your Mac Internet software off last month╒s cover CD-ROM, and are having problems getting on line, try installing the MacTCP Prep file from the MacTCP folder to your Preferences folder and restarting. If the problem persists, launch Config PPP, click Config, then Connect Script, then make sure the fifth line of your Connect Script says bled and not oseidon.
From the top, the connect script should read:
Wait ogin
Out \dcdrommag
Wait word:
Out \dgtsdrtae
Wait bled
Out HELLO
Meanwhile, in the config dialog the dial in number should read 01714650355
If you are dialling from an office line, insert 9, before the string.
If you are installing the software for the first time:
1. Open the Mac TCP folder and drag the MacTCP and MacTCP DNR files into the Control Panels folder, and the MacTCP Prep files onto the Preferences folder.
2. Open the Netscape folder and drag the Netscape 1.0 application onto your desk top.
3. Open the System folder and drag the Netscape f folder, found in the Netscape 1.0 folder, into the Preferences folder.
4. Open the PPP folder, and drag the file ╘PPP╒ into the Extensions folder, ╘PPP Preferences╒ into the Preferences folder and ╘Config PPP╒ into the Control Panels folder. For convenience it is a good idea to make an alias of it and drag it onto the desktop.
Now restart your machine.
5. Open the control panel MacTCP which you╒ll find in the control panels folder.
6. Make sure that the port name setting is correct for you modem.
7. Click the open button on the Config PPP dialog box to dial into to our service provider Atlas.
8. Double click on the Netscape icon (this is your browser application). The Netscape logo will tell you the software is loading.
9. The next thing you should see is the Atlas home page, which contains loads of information about browsing the Net, helper applications that allow you to download and use multimedia files. Most importantly of all, it contains a hyperlink to our very own Web site, CD-ROM Online. Simply click on the highlighted CD-Magazine, and our home pages are yours to explore.
If you have any problems, follow the troubleshooting instructions in paragraph one. Or if your problems persist, call Atlas on 0171 312 0401.

Each month we will be printing a new password that will give readers another month╒s free Net time. To enter the password you need to click the Config button in the PPP Config dialog box, click Connect Script, and then type the new password in the appropriate field. You can also use the config dialog to change the dial in number. If you are calling from an office line, for example, insert 9, before the dial string.
