Windows 98 - How to connect

Connect to Netro

Connecting to Netro

If you open an Internet related program (eg Internet Explorer or Outlook Express) then you should automatically get a dialog box asking for your user name and password details to connect.

If not, then you can connect manually by double-clicking on My Computer, Dial-up Networking and then Netro.

You should then see a Connect To box. Enter in your username (do not enter in @netro.com.au) and your password and verify that you are dialing the correct phone number, with any area codes etc as required.

If you click on Save Password then you will not be prompted for a password again.

Click on Connect to begin dialling. You will hear the modem ring and make a series of sharp squeals.

Once you are connected then you will have a dial-up networking icon in your taskbar (in the bottom right of your screen). If you double click on this icon, you can view session details and disconnect.
