FAQ - Configuring Netscape Navigator 2.02 to 3.01

The first thing to do when you have the browser up is to set it to start at the Local Access home page. To do this go to the toolbar setting "options" and select "general preferences." When you highlight "options" you need to scroll to "general preferences." For a picture click here.

When you get into the options control panel you will be confronted with a number of tabs. The tab you need to have selected is "appearance." You will then need to look down a little bit and you will see a field labeled "browser starts with." Then go to the circle that says "home page location" and select it. In the white field provided type in http://www.localaccess.com. By doing this you will now start up with the Local Access home page whenever you start your browser.

Netscape Mail Configuration

To get into the options for configuring your Netscape Mail you need to go up to the top tool bar and click on the word "options." Next click on "Mail and News Preferences."

This will bring up a screen that looks like this. Go to the tab that reads "servers." In here you will see a number of fields that you will need to configure so that you can

In the option menu you will be presented with a screen that has a number of tabs at the top. You will need to click on the tab that says "Server." This will display a number of blank or otherwise filled fields that you will either need to fill in or edit the contents of. In the "Name" field place the name that you would like other people to see you as when you mail them a message. In the field marked "Organization" type in your organization, if you do not have an organization then leave it blank. In the next field it asks you for your Email address. Place your e-mail address in this field. For example, my e-mail is JanM@localaccess.com. The next field asks for your "Outgoing Mail (SMTP):" this is mail.localaccess.com. "Incoming Mail (POP3):" is the same as well, mail.localaccess.com. The "POP3 account" is your username, my user name is JanM so I would put that in the field. The field that asks for your password will need you to put in your password, you will have obtained this from us. If you do not remember your password you will need to come in to the office and get it again. When you put in your password it will look something like this, "*******."

After you have placed this information into the appropriate places you may then click on the button at the bottom that says "Apply." After you haved clicked apply you may click "OK" and you are done.
