When you start the Web Browser CD, the Dreamcast will give you the opportunity to set up your own ISP for Internet access. Click on the choice for setting up your own ISP. (If you don't see the screen for configuring your Internet and e-mail connections, press the START button. A pattern of buttons will appear on the screen. Use the arrow cursor to choose the "OPTIONS" button on the bottom right, then press the (A) key.) Select the "Internet Connection" icon and press the (A) button. The "Basic Info" form will pop up on the screen. Fill out the fields in this form using the keyboard on the screen.
Next, click on "Dial Options" at the top of the "Basic Info" form. Enter your local area code, any special prefixes you need to dial when calling long distance (e.g. 1-area code), and what code you use to disable call waiting features or get outside lines, if necessary. Next, click on the "Proxy Settings" at the top of the form. You don't need to program a proxy, so set the "Use Proxy" option to "no", and leave the other fields blank. Then click "OK" to exit the screen. Press the "SAVE" button in the bottom right corner of the main setup form to save these settings. Now you're ready to connect to the Internet!
E-Mail setup To set up your e-mail account, click on the "Email Account" icon. You will be taken to the "Email Account" screen. Fill out the fields in this screen using the keyboard that is visible on the screen.
Now save your settings by pressing the "SAVE" button in the bottom right corner of the main setup screen.
Browsing the Web and Using E-mail On the main Sega Dreamcast Network screen, click on "[ENTER]" to browse the web, or on "[E-MAIL]" to send or receive e-mail. You'll see a message that modem is dialing, after which you will be connected. To disconnect from the Internet when you are done, click on the arrows () on any screen, or turn off the Dreamcast system. Refer to your SEGA web browser documentation for more information. |
