If you have a Mac running MacOS 8.x or 9 with Internet Setup Assistant, you can use the Internet without installing any additional software. Here's how:

1. Locate the Internet Setup Assistant, typically located in the Assistants folder, and open it.
    
2. The Internet Setup Assistant will ask a series of questions which you will need to answer with responses:
   • Would you like to set up your computer to use the Internet? YES
   • Do you already have an Internet account? YES
   • What would you like to name this configuration? My Dorm Room (or any answer will do here.)
   • How will you be connecting to the Internet? NETWORK
   • Do you want to use Apple Remote Access to connect to the Internet? NO
   • Is there an IP address for this configuration? NO
   • What is the protocol used for this configuration? OTHER
   • What is the DNS address for this configuration? 199.8.232.100
   • What is the Domain Name for this configuration? goshen.edu
   • What is the email address for this configuration? You should have received a sheet with this information via campus mail. It is typically in 'firstml' form, so that Eric John Yoder would be ericjygoshen.edu
   • What is the e-mail password for this configuration? We recommend leaving this blank.
   • What is the e-mail host for this configuration? mail.goshen.edu
   • What is the newsgroup host for this configuration? Leave this blank. We recommend the Google web site to people interested in Usenet discussion groups.
   • Do you use proxy servers for Internet connections? NO
   • To finish the installation click the Go Ahead Button
      
3. To begin using your Internet connection, you will need one more piece of information -- your hardware address, a 12 digit number stored in the TCP/IP Control Panel. To find it, do the following:
   • From the Apple Menu, select Control Panels.
   • Locate the TCP/IP control Panel and open it by double-clicking on it.
   • From the File Menu, choose "Get Info".
   • Write down your hardware address on a slip of paper. You'll need this for step four.
   • Close up the TCP/IP control panel.
      
4. Launch Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. You'll be automatically sent to the ResNet Registration Page. Take the following steps to finish the installation:
   • Read the instructions and click the Register Me! Button
   • Enter your e-mail username and password.
   • Read the Computing Code of Conduct and click Agree
   • Enter your room number and 12-digit hardware address (with no spaces) and click Confirm.
      
5. Restart your computer and surf the Web!
