Verify Your Dial-Up Number, Username, Password Or Domain Tail For Mac OS X 10.1

Mac OS X, also known as OS 10, is a new version of the Macintosh operating system that is quite different from older versions of Macintosh. This web page will show you how to change your dial-up number, username, password and domain tail for version 10.1.

On the Toolbar, click the Apple icon and select Location and Network Preferences from the menus.

The screen below appears:

Select the PPP tab.

Here you'll put in the bulk of your Internet connection information:

Service Provider = name of your ISP or whatever you want to call the connection.

Telephone Number = your Internet access number (not your telephone number). If you need to dial a '9', enter it. If you have call-waiting, you can disable it with '*70,'. If you're required to use 10- or 11-digit dialing in your area, enter '1' and the area code next. Finally, put in the Internet access number.

Alternate Number = if there is an alternate Internet access number, place it here. Follow the same rules as above.

Account Name = this is your username to access the Internet. Be sure to put the @ispname.com (or .net) on the end of your username. Without this, you will not authenticate because you won't reach our ISP. You'll just get stuck somewhere in the public phone system.

Password = enter your password. It will be encrypted so you'll only see dots.
Important: passwords are case-sensitive. Ensure your Caps Lock key is DISabled.

Click the Apply Now button to save the changes and close the window.
