Mac OS X
Click here for Mac OS 8 (via Apple's web site )

AirPort Tip: If you have an AirPort base station, connect the phone line to your computer's modem and complete the steps below first. Then see the AirPort section at the end of this document.

Steps to connect

Loganet User Information:

• Username and password (usually all lowercase)
• Dial-up access phone number
• Mail servers are both: mail.loganet.net
• Configure IP information via PPP

Configure Mac OS X with your Loganet information

From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Network.
Choose Internal Modem from the Show pop-up menu (or the "Configure" pop-up menu prior to Mac OS X 10.1). If your computer does not have a built-in modem, select your external modem.
Click the PPP tab.
Type your Loganet information into the matching fields. Your username goes in the Account Name field. If you want the other users of this computer to use the same connection, select the "Save password" option.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose PPP.
Type the DNS addresses 204.96.181.75 and 204.96.181.65
Click Apply Now.

Connect and verify

Open Internet Connect. It's in the Applications folder.
Be sure the Configuration pop-up menu is set to your modem.
Click the Connect button.
Once Internet Connect says you're connected, open a Web browser or other Internet (TCP/IP) application to make sure your connection works.

Tip: You can have Mac OS X automatically connect to the Internet whenever you open an Internet application.

Additional steps for AirPort

Disconnect from the Internet.
Unplug the phone line from your computer and connect it to the base station's modem port.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant utility (/Applications/Utilities/) to copy the computer's settings to the base station.

If you're troubleshooting a base station, see the AirPort: Troubleshooting Guide on Apple's web site.
