Creating a new connection on the MAC OS X
Mac OSX also known as OS 10 is a new version of the Macintosh operating system that is quite different from older versions of Macintosh. This web page will show you how to setup an OSX computer to connect to the internet.
Begin by clicking the apple icon in the top left corner of the screen and choose "System Preferences" as pictured below.
Double-click open the "Network" icon.
Click on the "PPP" tab and the window will look like the one below. Enter your local dial-up number of your ISP. It helps to put three commas on the end of the phone number for improved connections. You will be given a user name and a password which must be no longer than 7 digits when you call Karoo Technical Support. Put in your user name and password. Don't worry that it will look like a bunch of dots. If you put a checkmark in the "Save password" option then your computer will put in your password for you automatically. If you are worried about privacy then you might not want to choose that option. If you already have a password and it is longer than 7 characters please call your technical support line and discuss this with the staff, they will be happy to assist you in changing your password to 7 characters.
Click on the "PPP Options" button when you are ready.
Click in the first box to put a checkmark in the option to "Connect automatically ..." You can choose any of the next three options for automating a disconnect of your internet connection but most people choose not to do this. If you do choose these options then your computer will automatically disconnect so please don't forget that you chose this. It's not Karoo that is disconnecting you if you choose any of those options. The other options don't really matter to you. Click the "OK" button to return to the prior screen.
Click the "TCP/IP" tab to see the window shown below. Make sure that the "Configure" option is set for "Using PPP." If not, click the little arrows to the right of that option to choose the "Using PPP" option. Inside the "Domain Name Servers" box, plug-in your DNS numbers. On our ISP, most customers use 212.50.160.100 and 213.249.130.100. If you are unsure then call technical support and ask them for your DNS numbers for your location.
