Changing the DNS numbers on Macs OS 7.5.1 and Earlier

1. Start with Config PPP

To begin, choose Control Panels from the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen. Next, choose Config PPP from the list.

If you are using an external modem, follow the cord to the back of your computer and look to see which port it is plugged into. If the port has a picture of a phone, select the Modem Port from the Port Name menu.

If your modem is plugged into a port that has a picture of a printer, choose the printer port

Find the PPP Server menu, and if there is no Lisco option, choose New and type "Lisco", then click OK.

When the PPP Server menu says Lisco, choose the Config button.

 

2. Then, in the Configuration Screen

Set the Port Speed menu at 38400, and set the Flow Control at CTS & RTS (DTR).

 

Select Tone Dial, and type the correct phone number for your area. Do not type an area code unless you plan to dial the number long distance and pay long distance charges.

Make sure that the Modem Connect Timeout is set on 90, and click on the Connect Script button.

 

 

3. The Connect Script

Set the Wait Timeout to 40 seconds, then begin setting the Connect Script as follows:

The first line should have Out selected, and nothing should be typed in the blank. Check the box on the right.

The second line should have Wait selected, and login: should be typed in the blank

The third line should have Out selected, and your username (in all lowercase letters) should be in the blank. Check the box on the right.

The fourth line should have Wait selected, and word: should be in the blank.

The fifth line should have Out selected, and your password (in all lowercase letters) should be in the blank. Check the box on the right.

Then click OK, Click Done, and close the Config PPP window.

 

 

4. Choosing MacTCP

Next, go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen and choose Control Panels. Then, choose the MacTCP control panel.

 

Click on the PPP or FreePPP icon and then click the More button. This should bring up the LISCO configuration screen you see below.

 

 

5. The Lisco Configuration in MacTCP

In the main MacTCP window, find the Obtain Address section, and select Server.
