The connection properties are now set and you are ready to attempt a login. To make things easier, you might want to create a shortcut for your Green Apple icon and place it on your desktop. To do this, right click on the Green Apple icon and select "Create Shortcut".

Logging on to Green Apple

Double-click on the Green Apple icon that is in 'Start >> Settings >> Dialup and Network Connections' (or use a shortcut, if you have created one). Type in your login name and password (remember, both login name and password are case sensitive). You may put a checkmark in the 'Save password' box.

If this is your first time connecting, hit the 'Properties' button. Under the General tab, click on the rules button. If you have call waiting and Ameritech is your carrier, put a checkmark beside 'To disable call waiting dial:', put '*70,' in the box next to it..

If you have call waiting and Verizon (GTE) is your carrier, you will need to check with them to find out how you disable call waiting on single call basis (Verizon doesn't seem to have standardized on call waiting disablement feature in this area: some places will use '#70,', others cannot be disabled whatsoever).

On the line labeled 'The phone system at this location uses:', place a dot beside 'Tone dialing' if you have tone dialing feature; otherwise place a dot beside 'Pulse dialing' if you have pulse dialing feature. Hit 'OK'.

Hit the 'Dial' button. This will dialup to Green Apple.

Once the modems connect, the message 'Verifying user name and password' will appear. If everything has been setup correctly and your login name and password have been entered correctly, the screen will turn into a little icon down near the clock display.

Regarding the Internet Explorer, Windows 2000 machines will have an icon resembling a blue lowercase letter 'e' that reads 'Internet Explorer'). This is the icon for IE. When connected, double click on this icon to start IE. If there is no such icon on your desktop, check for the application 'Internet Explorer' in 'Start >> Programs', 'Start >> Programs >> Internet Explorer' or 'Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Internet Tools'.

When you are finished with your Internet session, close all your Internet applications, bring back the status window and hit "Disconnect' button.
