the following settings. It
may be easier to print this before you attempt to check/change settings |
Introduction and Explanation:
During March/April 2000, IOCC.com changed some settings on the
main server that affected all current users. Previously it was important
to have entered DNS Numbers (such as 204.214.235.2) to
connect to our service. Not only are these numbers no longer needed, but
the extra data hinders the dial-up process.
The current IOCC Setup CD still has these numbers embedded.
All new customers using the disc will have these incorrect DNS numbers
installed.
