Procedure
1. Configure the dialer to use your Internet Service Provider (ISP) with the define/modify provider menu command, then close the dialer WITHOUT dialing and connecting.
2. If your Macintosh is running TCP/IP, open the TCP/IP control panel, select the Advanced command in the User Mode menu, then fill in the requisite information. Close the control panel.
3. Open the dialer and connect to the ISP. The changes to the TCP/IP control panel will stay, as they are written to a part of the TCP prefs that the dialer does not overwrite.
Things to Avoid
- Never have the MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel and the dialer open at the same time. Never have Config PPP and the dialer open at the same time.
- Either of these combinations of operations will cause system and preferences corruption. Make sure you have quit one process before starting the next
