Save your CompuServe 2000 password
When CompuServe 2000 starts, it prompts you for a password. You can set
up CompuServe 2000 to remember your password permanently. If you
don’t, ISS client users must enter their password at the ISS server PC
every time they connect to CompuServe 2000.
To save your CompuServe 2000 password:
1
At the ISS server, connect to CompuServe 2000.
2 From the Access menu, click Preferences > Passwords.
3 Type the password for each member name, and then select the Connect
check box.
4 Click OK.
Set up continuous Internet connections with ISS
ISS treats continuous Internet connections (cable modems, DSL lines,
satellite connections) like dial-up Internet accounts, with some exceptions:
• You can’t hang up the connection
• The connection doesn’t time out
To make sure your cable or DSL service is set up properly:
1
Click Start > Intel AnyPoint Network > Internet Sharing Server.
2 Click on the Connection tab and select DSL service or Cable Modem.
To use a continuous Internet connection from an ISS server or client, run an
Internet application like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
An important note on PC naming with continuous Internet
connections
When continuous Internet connections are installed, it is often necessary for
the installer to rename your PC. Do not change this name. Changing the
name assigned by the installer may make the PC unable to access the
Internet.
If you have already changed the PC name, reset it:
1
From the Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Network.
2 Click the Identification tab.
3 In the Computer name text box, type the PC name the installer
provided, and then click
OK.
