| Mac OSX with DandyNet |
Method 1. Using the Setup Assistant |
|
| Normally when installing Mac OS X, the Setup Assistant will guide you through configuring your Internet settings and getting online. You may need the settings that follow (some are examples):
|
| |
Setup Existing Service |
|
User Name: (e.g.) |
johndoe |
|
Password: (e.g.) |
1234abcd |
|
|
609-391-2246 |
Setup Mail |
|
Email Address: (e.g.) |
johndoe@dandy.net |
|
Incoming Mail Server: |
mail.dandy.net |
|
Account Type: |
POP |
|
User Account ID: (e.g.) |
johndoe |
|
Password: (e.g.) |
1234abcd |
|
Outgoing Mail Server: |
mail.dandy.net |
|
 |
| |
But the Setup Assistant only runs once, so if for some reason you weren't able to set up DandyNet at that time, or if you just want to double-check your settings for any reason, you'll need to know your way around the Network Preferences panel within the System Preferences application.
|
| |
|
| |
| Method 2. Using the Network Settings |
|
Open the System Preferences application and click on the Network icon. (Or, as a shortcut, select Network Preferences from the Locations submenu under the Apple Menu.)

That's it! Your system is configured for DandyNet. Now let's get you online... |
|
| Connecting to DandyNet |
| |
| Launch the Internet Connect application, which is sitting with all your other applications. Consider dragging it into your Dock for frequent access.

|
The opening window shows stuff we already know from above, and gives us a chance to screw it up: |
|
| |
|
|
To avoid doing that, click on the button in the upper right that shows a triangle, to get rid of unnecessary clutter and to avoid accidents:
|
| |
|
| |
And, of course, Connect. |
| |
|
| |
That's it! You're online with DandyNet and Mac OS X.
