Note: you do not need to use these directions if connecting to the Network here on campus-only if using a Modem (using a telephone line) from on or off campus.

In order to complete these instructions, you will need the following:

• A working modem
• A working phone line
• An @eou.edu email login and password
  • (only available to current students and graduates of EOU)
• 15-20 minutes

• Making a connection - Click the Start button and select Control Panels from the list.

In the window that opens, be sure that the Connections tab is selected, and press the Setup button near the top of the window.

You may be asked to setup your current location.If so, entering your Area Code should be all that is required.

When you have done that you will be returned to the New Connection Wizard.

Click the Next button at the bottom of the window. Ensure that Connect to the Internet is selected and press Next . Select Set up my connection manually and press Next . Select Connect using a dial-up modem and press Next . Type EOU in the dialog box and press Next .

The phone number is 541-962-3140.

Enter your user name as you enter it for the webmail system. This is user name only, not your full email address. Enter your password in to the next two boxes. Most users should leave the three check boxes checked.

Press Next when you are finished. If you would like a link to this connection placed on the desktop, click the check box. Press Finish .

• Configure a connection - Under " pick a Control Panel icon " select Network Connections . Right click on the connection labeled EOU and select Properties from the pull-down menu.

Select Use the following DNS server addresses .

In the box for Preferred DNS server enter [140.211.50.10], the Alternate DNS server is [140.211.60.15].

Press Ok and then press Ok again.

 

• Connecting - You are now ready to connect to the Internet through the Eastern Oregon University dial-up system.
