We recommend you always use the SMNET icon on your desktop to connect to SMNET. The first time you double click this icon a "Connect To" box will appear. Type your SMNET USERNAME and PASSWORD in the respective boxes, select "Save Password" then click on connect. Your computer will dial into SMNET and then when you are connected you will be able to surf the ‘Net.

Good Luck!
