Introduction

This document contains instructions for connecting a Macintosh computer running Mac OS 9 to the internet using BlitzNet, Willamette's wireless network. You will need:

• A Macintosh computer running Mac OS 9.
• An AirPort card.
• Network software such as a web browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer) and an email client (Netscape, Pine, Outlook Express, etc)
• Your original system software (Mac OS CD-ROM)

This document assumes that you already have the appropriate hardware and software installed, and that you are familiar with Mac OS 9. If you need assistance, please call the WITS Help Desk at 503-370-6767.

If your Mac does not have a wireless card, you'll have to purchase and install one. Check the documentation that came with your computer for "AirPort" (the name of the wireless card used in Macintosh computers). The card must be configured properly before you will be able to connect. Also, you must be within the range of a wireless access point to complete the setup. Once this is done, you will be able to gain network access in any of the following wireless locations:

Full Wireless Coverage:	Partial Wireless Coverage:
Atkinson Graduate School Goudy Commons Hatfield Library Montag Center Olin Science Center Law School University Center Writing Center (1st floor of Matthews Hall)	Courtyard between Baxter and Matthews Lawn south of the Mill Stream Smullin Hall Sparks Center (offices) Walton Hall

Getting Started

Connecting to the wireless network consists of the following steps:

• Install and configure a wireless network card if not already present.
• Configure your AirPort for network services.
• Register your computer on the network via a web browser.

Installing an AirPort card

If you had to purchase an AirPort card, simply follow the instructions that came with it.

Configuring AirPort

The easiest way to check your Willamette email is to use Webmail. Open your web browser and go to: http://webmail.willamette.edu/

If you are going to be using an e-mail client other than Webmail (such as Netscape Messenger or Outlook Express) you will need the following settings:

• IMAP server (incoming mail): mail.willamette.edu
• SMTP server (outgoing mail):
  • If you're on campus: smtp.willamette.edu
  • If you're off campus, using Willamette's dial-up service: smtp.willamette.edu
  • If you're off campus, using an ISP (such as AOL, Earthlink, AT&T, Qwest, etc.), then use the SMTP server name provided by the ISP. Such information can usually be found in the ISPs documentation, on their website, or by contacting their customer service department.
• News Server (News Groups): news.willamette.edu 
• Directory Server: ldap.willamette.edu
