Follow
these easy steps below to set up your Internet And Email on your
Sega Dreamcast.
1. First,
you'll need to put the Dreamcast Network Browser CD into
the Dreamcast. When it starts up, use your controller to move
the cursor to the Use your own ISP option,
then press the A button.
2. If
you do not see the screen for setting up your Internet connection
and email account, press the Start button. You should then
see several icons pop up in a pattern in the middle of your
screen. Move your cursor to Options on
the bottom right, then press the A button.
3.
Move your cursor to the Internet Connection
icon, then press the A button.
4.
On the Basic Info screen, you will
see an on-screen keyboard which you can use to enter the following
information:
For Your Real Name, enter your full
name.
For User Login, enter your username@surfglobal.net
in all lowercase letters.
For Password, enter your password
in all lowercase letters..
For Dial up number, enter your local
access number, including the area code. If you are unsure of your
local access number,
Click
Here
for a list of Local Access Numbers.
The Backup Number field can be left blank.
For DNS1, Leave it Blank.
For DNS2, Leave it Blank.
5.
Then select Dial
Options at the top of the screen.
6. On
the Dial Options screen:
For Area code
you are dialing from, enter your location's three-digit area
code.
For Long distance call prefix, you can enter a 1 if necessary.
For Call waiting prefix, if your phone line has Call Waiting, you can disable
it on a per-call basis to keep incoming calls from terminating your Internet
connection. For most phone companies, the prefix you should enter to disable
Call Waiting is *70, (or 1170, if you have pulse dialing) . If your phone line
does not have Call Waiting, leave this field blank.
For Outside dial prefix, if your location requires that you dial any extra digits
to access an outside line, enter them here.
For Dial, select Tone or Pulse dialing, whichever you have.
For Dial area code, select Off UNLESS your local access number is in a different
area code than you are in.
For Blind dial, select Off unless your line is equipped with Call Answering (voice
mail). If you have Call Answering, the "stutter tone" generated by
waiting messages will keep you from being able to dial in unless you turn on
the Blind Dial feature.
7. Then select Proxy
Setting at the top of the screen. On the Proxy Setting
screen: For Use Proxy, select No.
Click OK
8. Click Save at
the bottom of the screen to save the settings to the console memory.
You are now setup for Internet on your Dreamcast.
If you want
to setup your email on your Sega
Dreamcast then continue to Step #9.
9.
Now, move your cursor to the Email Account
icon, then press the A button.
On the Email Account screen:
For Email Login, enter your username
(i.e. username@surfglobal.net) in all
lowercase letters.
For Email Password, enter your password.
For Incoming Server (POP3), enter mail.surfglobal.net.
For Outgoing Server (SMTP), enter mail.surfglobal.net.
If you like, you can check Show mail header when getting mail, which
causes extra information from the server to be displayed at the
top of incoming messages.
If you like, you can check Include original message in replies,
which includes the text of the message you are replying to inside
of your reply.
When you are done, click OK.
10. Click Save
at the bottom of the screen to save the settings to the console
memory.
11.
You're done! To connect, click on ENTER
from the main screen to browse the Web, or click E-MAIL
to send or receive mail. To disconnect, click on the two arrows
on any screen (), or simply turn off the Dreamcast system.
