Dialing Up to the Internet Through M.U.M.

Logging In to M.U.M.

  1. To connect, double-click your M.U.M. icon in the Dial-Up Networking window. Tip: Instead of going the long way (Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > Dial-Up Networking), you can double-click My Computer on the desktop and then double-click Dial-Up Networking. For even faster access, right click the Dial-Up Networking icon and choose Create Shortcut. Then drag the shortcut to your desktop.
  2. In the Connect To dialog box, enter your userid and password given to you by the Information Systems department. (This is sometimes called the Kerberos Username and password.)
  3. If you wish Windows to remember your password, click Remember Password.
  4. Click Connect. You should hear the modem dialing (unless you turned the sound off). A window opens telling you that the modem is dialing. (If you get a busy signal, try again.)
  5. If you selected Bring Up Terminal Window After Dialing on the Options tab of the Modem Properties dialog box, you now see the Post-Dial Terminal Screen. Type your userid (username or login name). Use only lower case letters. Press Enter. At the prompt for your password, enter your dial-up password (also called Kerberos password) and press Enter. You should see some text or characters appear on the screen. Click Continue or press F7.
  6. You now see a window telling you that the system is verifying your username and password, then that it is logging on to the network. You are now connected! The window disappears and you see a small icon on your taskbar tray (at the bottom right corner of your screen). You can now open your Internet software (Web browser or email program) and use it.
  7. To disconnect, right-click the icon on the tray and choose Disconnect.
