Dialup Configuration

Note that these instructions are for LMi.net dialup accounts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please see Dialup section for information on nationwide roaming services.

LMi.net uses generic Internet Protocol configuration techniques that use settings that are independent of any type of computer being used. We provide specific configuration instructions for the most popular computers, but you may be able to use this information to set up your computer if it is not listed below.

• Mac OS X
• Mac OS 7.6 - 9.2
• Mac OS 7.5 and earlier
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows NT
• Windows 95/98/ME

Generic Dialup Setup

The LMi.net dialup authorization system needs a valid username and password. Your dialup username is supplied to you when you open a new account. It is usually the front part of your email address, i.e. the username would be "someone" if the email address is "someone@lmi.net".

When configuring your Internet dialup use these settings:

• Protocol type is PPP
• Username is your dialup username (see above)
• Password is the password supplied by you
• The telephone number should be an LMi.net dialup number closest to your location
• Allow the dialup server to set up the IP address, gateway and DNS addresses automatically
