The following instructions are provided to help you setup your Netscape
Navigator/Communicator software once you have setup Windows Dial-Up
Networking (see our Dial-Up Networking Configuration Guide).
1) If you have not already done so, Setup Netscape by running the setup.exe
program that is provided with the distribution. If you are using an exit109
provided cd-rom, follow the instructions on the front of the cd to setup
Netscape for Windows95/98.
2) Once Netscape has been installed, Run it by clicking on the "Netscape
Navigator" icon which has been installed on your Start Menu.
3) After Netscape loads, choose "Edit" from the menu bar and go down to
"Preferences". When the preferences dialog box opens, you should see the
following:
4) Under the "Navigator" submenu (which you see above), fill in the
"Home Page; Location" field as www.exit109.com
5) Next, choose the "Mail & Newsgroups" submenu (by double clicking on
it). This will bring down the Mail and Newsgroups options. Click on "Identity".
This will bring up the following dialog:
6) Fill in your name and email address as shown.
7) Now click on the "Mail Servers" subsection of the "Mail & Newsgroups" menu.
This will bring up the following dialog:
8) If you are using the exit109 custom distribution of Netscape Navigator,
you should see the screen exactly as above with the "mail.exit109.com" fields
filled in. If you do not see these, fill them in now.
9) Add or Edit the server under "Incoming Mail Servers". (Only Add a server
if you do not already see "mail.exit109.com". If you do see this, choose Edit.)
The following dialog will appear:
10) If you are Adding a new Incoming Mail Server, be sure to choose "POP3"
in the "Server Type" pulldown menu. Fill in "mail.exit109.com" for the
Server Name and your username for the "Username" field. (Do not put your
email address in this field. Your username is the name which comes before
the @ sign in your email address. If your email address is joeshmoe@exit109.com,
then your username is simply "joeshmoe").
11) Click OK to save your new configuration and exit the preferences
dialog. Your Netscape browser should now be completely configured for
your exit109 account.
12) To login to the network and begin using the world wide web, click
on your already configured dialup networking profile and login to exit109.
After the login is complete, load up netscape and be on your way. Enjoy!
