Internet
Connection Wizard
The
Internet Connection Wizard in Windows allows you to quickly
and easily set up your connection to CalWeb and configures
Outlook Express as your mail client in a matter of minutes.
Note: While the
Internet Connection Wizard can be accessed through the
Internet or Internet Options in the Control Panel,
differences between operating systems and setups do occur.
We start with the Internet Connection Wizard from the Run
command as this is the most consistent way of setting up
your Internet Connection.
|
| IMPORTANT!
Please verify that the number you are using is a local
access number and is entered correctly. (This can be done by
checking with the operator or a recent copy of the white
pages.) While we will suggest the best possible possible
access number, CalWeb Internet Services is not
responsible for any toll or phone charges incurred while
using our service. |
| Before
you begin... |
| If you are setting
up a brand new computer or a computer that has been
reinstalled with the operating system, some screens may come
up during the setup. Here are some tips for setting up your
connection.
Local Access
Number
This is the number used to connect to CalWeb Internet
Services. This number usually ends in -9321,
-9322,
-1855,
or -1856.
At no point in the setup process do you enter in your own
telephone number or ZIP code.
Modem
Information
Usually, most computers will have only one modem installed.
Click OK or Next on this screen.
Location
Information
If this screen comes up, make sure that the following is
entered:
- What country
are you in now?
United States of America (1)
- What
area (or city) code are you in now?
Enter only the area code where you are located (i.e. 916,
530,
209).
Do NOT enter a zip code.
- If you dial
a number to access an outside line, what is it?
If you need to access an outside line to dial out (i.e. 9),
put it here followed by a comma. Otherwise, leave blank.
- Make sure that Tone
Dialing is dotted.
The screen should
look like the following:
Sacramento
area, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove
 |
Placerville,
Auburn, Shingle Springs, Grass Valley
 |
