- Get on the Web now, using your connection to The Invention Factory, and
- Sprynet Mosaic!
-
- Requirements: 8 Mb RAM, Win95 or 3.1, TIF subscription with PPP access.
-
- 1. Copy SPRYNET.EXE to an empty, temporary folder or directory. (You can
- delete the temporary folder after you have the program installed.)
-
- 2. Run SPRYNET.EXE. (Note: there is lot of disk activity before you get
- feedback that anything is happening.) When the Account Setup Wizard
- offers to connect you online, you can select "Cancel".
-
- 3. Run the Sprynet Dialer. (It has been installed to the Win95 Start
- button, and to the Win 3.1 Program Manager.)
-
- 4. From the menus, choose Modem / Port Setup.
-
- Enter your COM port (1-4) and speed (38400 usually works well).
- Under "Advanced", choose data bits = 8 and parity = none.
-
- (You probably don't have to change the default "Hayes" modem, but if
- you do, it's under Modem / Setup.)
-
- 5. From the menus, choose Network / Dialer Setup.
-
- Enter the phone number you use to call TIF, including area code, "1",
- and prefixes if necessary. (For 14.4 kbps, enter 1-212-274-8110.)
- Enter the following information where requested:
-
- Name Server 1: 199.183.47.130
- Domain Name: factory.com
- Netmask: 255.255.255.192
-
- 6. From the menus, choose Network / Login Setup.
-
- Under Login Method, choose Manual. (Later, you can go back and put in
- an automated script.)
-
- 7. Dial TIF (press Dial on the button bar). After connection, enter "2"
- (PPP) for language, "N" for graphics, and your name and password as
- requested. A few seconds later, you will get the message "Connected",
- and the dialer will minimize.
-
- 8. Run Sprynet Mosaic. (It's the globe icon.) The default home page is
- http://www.sprynet.com which you can change to any other page you
- want. (My preferred home page is http://www.yahoo.com which has good
- links to other pages and a decent search engine.)
-
- 9. When you're finished your session, exit Sprynet Mosaic, then exit the
- Sprynet Dialer. The next time you run the dialer, you should be able
- to connect by pressing Dial on the button bar.
-
- If you have questions, post them in the Main Board, addressed to me, but
- make them "public" so others can also respond.
-
- Happy surfing!
