Connecting the the Internet

Double click on your newly created Icon on your desktop.

Select Connect and in a few moments you will be on the Internet.

Oh, one more thing needs to be changed - your email settings.

You will need to change the SMTP server settings in your email package to "mail.xlinet.com".

For Outlook users, go to tools, then accounts, select your email account, select properties, then servers. You now are on the right screen. Where it says "Outgoing mail (SMTP) enter "mail.xlinet.com".

For Netscape users, go to edit, preferences, click on the + to expand mail & Newsgroups. Select mail servers. Where it says "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server, enter "mail.xlinet.com".


If you are setting up new email addresses see the help sections covering the email software you are using. Most likely Outlook from Microsoft or Netscape.

If you need any help call us 630-466-2600.
