"I
have recently downloaded Netscape Navigator version
3.0 from the IT&E homepage. When I double-click
on the Netscape Navigator icon, I cannot login
to the Internet. Is something wrong?"
A major difference
between versions 2.02 and 3.0 is the use of Dial-up
Networking. If you have Windows 95, you will need
to use this protocol to access your Talaya account.
When you install Netscape Navigator 3.0, the following
shortcut icons should appear on your desktop:
You will need to double-click on
the Dial Talaya icon first to bring up the dialer.
Enter your username (with a ".ppp" at
the end) and your password (lowercase letters)
and click on Connect. When the dialer has authenticated
your username and password and has connected you,
then double-click the Netscape Navigator icon.
You will be able to access your new web browser
and start enjoying the Internet!
Instructions
for installing Netscape 3.0 (32-bit version)
If you have either obtained Netscape
Navigator 3.0 from Talaya or have downloaded the
software from the Internet, you now have the ability
to do things like view animated pictures, listen
to stereo-quality sound, and even watch full motion
video!
Netscape Navigator was made for 32-bit
operating systems such as Windows 95 or Windows
NT. As such, it requires a different connection
than dialing-in directly as with Netscape 2.02.
If you are using a 32-bit operating
system such as Windows 95 or Windows NT, you will
need to create a Dial-Up Networking Connection.
Doing this is easy, and takes only 6 steps:
Click on the Start button on the
taskbar. Select Programs, Accessories, and then
Dial-Up Networking. This will bring you into the
Dial-Up Networking window – choose Make New
Connection. Double-click on this icon, and then
follow the instructions.
The first window that comes up asks
you the following:
 Name
the connection. For this example, we will name
the connection "new". If you already
have a modem selected in the blank, make sure
it is correct. If you are not sure, the click
on Configure and have your computer detect your
modem for you. Click on Next.
The next window will ask you to enter
the following information:  Leave
the Area Code field blank, and enter 646-6000
in the Telephone number field. The information
chosen in the Country Code field should be United
States of America (1). Click on Next.
 This
final window will ask you to verify the connection
you have just made. If you're sure that your information
has been entered correctly, then click on Finish
to create the connection.
The Dial-Up Networking connection
window will open again and display the connection
that you have just made.
 Click
on the icon of your new connection and drag the
icon onto your desktop (you will have to minimize
of close all running programs to drag the icon
onto your desktop.) A message asking you if you
would like to create a shortcut to this connection
will appear on your screen. Click on OK. 
 Congratulations! You have successfully
created a dial-up networking connection to access
Talaya! Every
time you would like to log onto the Internet,
you will have double-click on the new icon to
activate the dialer. You will then need to enter
your username and password and then dial-in. When
you have successfully made a connection to Talaya,
double click on the Netscape icon.
