Configure Your Network Settings in System Preferences
- Click on the apple at the upper left corner of your screen.
- Move your cursor to System Preferences and click.
- Click on the Network icon - either in the first or the fourth row.
- Set Location: to Automatic. Set Show: to Modem Port
- Click the TCP/IP tab and configure its panel as follows, selecting and typing in the
information you see here:
- Click the PPP tab.
- For Service Provider type bway.net.
- Enter the dialup number (click here for local or out-of-area numbers).
- Enter an alternate number if you wish.
- For Account Name: enter your username if you are dialing one of our local numbers. Enter
it in the form username@bway.net if you are using one of our out-of-area numbers.
- Enter your password. Check Save Password if you wish.
- Click PPP Options...
- You should be just fine with the default settings in this panel. The only things you really ought to have checked are the first two boxes under Advanced Options
.
- Click OK.
Back to the Network panel.
- Ignore the
Proxies tab. Click the Modem tab.
- Again, you can probably just leave everything here as is. Make sure the modem designation that appears corresponds to the modem you actually have (it probably does). In the highly unlikely case that your phone still uses pulse dialing, check that option instead of tone.
- Click Apply Now.
- Click the red gumdrop at upper left to close the network panel.
To establish a dialup connection:
Look in the upper right corner of your screen. Click the little telephone, move your cursor down to where it says Connect, then click. That should do you.
