Windows Me Connection Guide
|
The following instructions and illustrations are provided
to assist you in setting up your computer to connect to BCPL.NET.
Please follow these instructions carefully and in order. These instructions are just one way of configuring Windows Me. If you are unable to establish a connection after following these instructions, please call the BCPL.NET Internet Help Desk at 410-887-3297. |
|
Click Start on the desktop. Click Settings. Click Dialup Networking. |
|
|
Sometimes Windows will start the Make New Connection Wizard for you. If it doesn't do this then you can start it manually by double clicking Make New Connection. You may see a welcome screen that tells you what you have started and displays a Next and a Cancel button at the bottom. If there are no boxes to type in, just click Next. |
|
You will see a box labeled: Type a name for the computer you are dialing: Type BCPL in that box. Make sure your modem is displayed in the Select a device: box. If it isn't, click the arrow at the right of the box and select your modem. After you have done this, click the Next button. |
|
|
The Area code: box should be blank
Click in the Telephone number: box and type 4102965500 If you have call waiting, type *70,4102965500 instead. Click Next. |
|
Click Finish. |
|
|
Double-click the BCPL icon in the Dial-Up Networking window. |
|
Click Properties. |
|
|
The Properties Window for the BCPL Connection will appear. Uncheck Use Area code and Dialing Properties. |
|
Click the Dialing tab. Click in the white circle to the left of Dial whenever a network connection is not present. Uncheck Enable idle disconnect. Click OK at the bottom of this screen. This should close the BCPL properties window and open the Connect To window. |
|
Testing the Connection
|
You need to enter your username and password in this dialog box and click the Save Password box. Make sure that the number in the Phone number box is either: 4102965500 OR *70,4102965500 (If you have call waiting) Click Connect. |
|
If everything is correctly configured, you will see a window indicating that you are connected. If you do not see this, look at the task bar near the clock and see if there is an icon with two computer screens or a modem: if so, you are connected. If you do not see this, double click the BCPL icon again. It will either tell you that you are connected or prompt you to try to connect again. You have now established a connection with BCPL. You may now run a web browser, e-mail program, etc. If you have followed these directions carefully and in order, and still cannot establish a connection with BCPL, please call the BCPL.NET Internet Help Desk at 410-887-3297. |
