2.8 - Configuring AmiTCP

The installer will now ask you whether you want to install AmiTCP now or later. If your ISP is contained within the "ISP List" document, please configure AmiTCP now. If your ISP is not listed just press "NO" and proceed to the next option (see section about what to do if your ISP is not contained within our list).

If you press YES and choose to configure AmiTCP now follow these stages:

1. Go to the "provider" option in the prefs list. In the "provider" folder -

   

   • choose your country (ie. United Kingdom)

   • choose your provider (ie. Enterprise)

   • choose your local phone number - this could be an 0345, 0645 or 0845 number (which are classed as local call numbers) or a number local to you (ie. if you live in Surrey you would be able to dial an 0181 number at local call rate).

     If you are unsure what is your local call number contact us or your ISP as soon as possible.

     Note that if the "Show Provider Info" box is clear you can click this to show some extra information about an ISP.

   • If you are connecting with an ISP that gives you a static IP address - Demon Internet do, but most every other ISP doesn't - goto the "configuration" folder -

     

     goto IP Address and insert your static IP address. This box will be *ghosted* if you do not have a static IP address.

     Your address should look similar to 159.151.5.13

2. Goto "User" in the prefs list. Within the "User Information" folder -
   • insert your login name - this is the name you give the ISP when you contact them for the first time.

     

   • insert your password - again, this is the password you give to your ISP when you first contact them.

   • insert your Real Name and E-Mail address. Your email address will be something similar to loginname@enterprise.net or loginname@netcomuk.co.uk.

3. Goto "Modem" in the prefs list and select your modem. If your modem is not contained within this list select "Generic".

   

   Click "SAVE" to save the preferences.

Now you have inserted all the information you need to run NetConnect.

2.9 - All the other Programs will install Automatically

Now you have configured AmiTCP, all the other programs (Voyager, AmIRC, AmFTP etc) will install automatically. Once installation has finished a box will appear and notfiy you.

Reboot your computer when installation is completed.
