Mac OS X:

Setting up Dialup Access

OS 10.1.5 shown

1. To begin setting up your sonic.net connection, click on the Apple menu, and select "System Preferences..."

   

2. Once the System Preferences window loads, click on "Network" to load the Network Preferences.

   

3. In the Network Preferences pane, set location to "Automatic," and set Show to "Internal Modem." Set Configure to "use PPP." The "Domain Name Servers" are 208.201.224.11 and 208.201.224.33. The "Search Domain" should be "sonic.net" When you've entered this, click on the "PPP" tab.

   

4. In the PPP tab, Service Provider should be "Sonic.net." Use the pop finder to find a telephone number. The Account name is your sonic.net account name followed by "@sonic.net", and the password is your sonic.net password. If you don't want to have to type in your password everytime you connect, check the "save password" box.

   

5. If you would like to change the PPP options, click on the "PPP Options" button, and make changes there. If you want to automatically connect to Sonic.net when you open your web browser, or email program, or any TCP/IP application, make sure that "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications" is checked. If it's unchecked, you will have to connect manually using the Internet Connect application. Click "OK" to exit PPP Options.

   

6. By default, the proxy settings tab is blank. Sonic.net does not require proxy settings. Leave these blank.

   

7. If you ever need to change your internal modem protocol from V90 to V34, you would do so by clicking on the "Modem:" pulldown menu, and selecting "Apple Internal 56k Modem(V.34)." Make sure that the modem is set to "tone" dialing instead of "pulse."

   

   Once you are all through configuring the network preferences, click on "Apply Now" and close the window.
