Macintosh OS 8 Manual Dial-Up Configuration

Configuring your Macintosh to access the Internet will require adjusting two separate Control Panels on your computer: The "TCP/IP" Control Panel and the "PPP" Control Panel. This tutorial will walk you through both processes.

1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel from the "Apple" menu as shown below.

2. Enter the TCP/IP settings information as shown in the example below. Then close the window.

3. Open the PPP Control Panel from the Apple Menu as shown below.

4. With the PPP window open, enter your ValleySurf username, password and local dial-up number as demonstrated in the example below. (Remember to enter YOUR username and password; jsmith is used as an example). Then simply use our "Dial-Up Number Generator" to identify a ValleySurf access number that is a local call from the location your computer will be dialing from. There is no need to enter the area code. Lastly, make sure that the "Registered User" and "Save Password" boxes are checked. Now simply click Connect and your computer will dial in to the ValleySurf network and you will be online!
