- You will need to get some very specific information from the person who
- maintains the local connection you want to use:
-
- 1. Do I need to register for SLIP?
- 2. How do I start up SLIP?
- 3. What will my hostname and IP address be?
- 4. What IP address should I use for the default route?
- 5. What is the hostname and IP address of the domain name server?
- 6. What is the hostname and IP address of the SMTP gateway?
- 7. What is the hostname and IP address of the NNTP news server?
-
- Once you have this information, I have two more files which should help you
- in getting things set up. I'll be putting them on wuarchive soon.
