Web Browsers - Netscape 4.0
Once you have Netscape running select the Edit menu and select Preferences

This will bring up the Preferences box that will allow you to configure Communicator for your computer.

From the Category list select Navigator by clicking on it. In the Home Page box locate the text input field labeled location. In this text field enter the home page found on your Customer Connection Details Sheet.

This means that every time you start Netscape it will get Intertech Country Internet's home page.

Next, in the Navigator starts with box select Home Page

Now we will set up Mail and New preferences.

From the Category list, select Mail & Groups.

Make sure you expand the list by clicking on the little box to the left of Mail & Groups. From this sub-list, select Mail Server.

Netscape from version 2.0 on has a built in Mail Program and News Reader. Once the correct configuration has been loaded into Netscape you can use it to send/receive email or read news

The fields you should complete here are Outgoing Mail(SMTP) Server, Incoming Mail (POP) Server, Mail server user name (This is your email address - NOT your email address). These are all found on your Customer Connection Details Sheet.

Under Mail server type, make sure that POP3 is selected. You should also make sure that Leave messages on server after retrieval is not selected.

Next click on the More Options button.

Tick the Remember my mail password tickbox if you want Netscape to save your password.

Click on Ok

Next, select Identity from the Mail & Groups sub-list.

This is where is you set up all of your personal details. Your Name is YOUR NAME, Your Email and your Reply-to-Address should be YOUR email address. The Organization field can contain anything you please. If all of these options are not configured correctly some parts of Netscape may not function correctly.

From the Mail & Groups sub-list, select Groups Server.

In the text field labelled Discussion groups (news) server: enter the news server shown on your Customer Connection Details Sheet.

Now will set up your cache settings. To locate you current cache settings, click on the box next to Advanced in the category selection box. From the sub-list under Advanced, select Cache.

The Memory Cache value is the amount in kilobytes of actual RAM area Netscape will use for information while it is running - the higher the better but the following guidelines are considered 'healthy'. For machines that have 16 meg + of memory set Memory Cache to 1024, for those with 8 to 16 Meg of memory set Memory Cache to 512 and for those with 4 to 8 Meg of memory this value should be set to 256.

The Disk Cache is the amount of semi-permanent storage that Netscape uses to remember or store object from the Internet for a certain amount of time. This size is in kilobytes and should be at least 5,000 to 10,000 (5 to 10 Meg). Verify Documents should be set to Once per Session to keep information accurate(Netscape will verify at the start of every session each object it has stored in its cache as it is needed - this stops old and out of date information being taken from the cache).

Now for the final step, setting up your proxies. From the Advanced sub-list, select Proxies.

On this window, select Direct Connection to the internet. Netscape will now use Intertech Country Internet transparent proxy system for you. Press the OK button to save your changes and Netscape is all setup.
