Welcome to Netscape Communicator
|
|
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
Netscape Communicator includes all the software you need
|
|
to get started on the Internet:
|
|
|
|
* Netscape Communicator, a suite of
|
|
Internet software that lets you explore the World Wide Web,
|
|
send and receive email, read online newsgroups, and more.
|
|
|
|
* Account Setup, a program that lets you set up an Internet account
|
|
so you can get connected to the World Wide Web right away. If you
|
|
already have an Internet account, Account Setup lets you set up
|
|
Communicator so that it can use your existing account.
|
|
|
|
* Complete online documentation and Help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use Communicator, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Install Communicator according to the
|
|
instructions provided in this document.
|
|
|
|
2. Use Account Setup to create an Internet account. Account
|
|
Setup can help you create an account with an Internet service
|
|
provider right away. If you already have an Internet account,
|
|
you can use Account Setup to set up Communicator to use your
|
|
existing account.
|
|
|
|
3. Connect to your account and explore the World Wide Web.

Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
In most cases, installing Communicator and connecting to the Internet
|
|
will go smoothly. If you do encounter difficulties, however, use the
|
|
information in this section.

|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Not enough hard-disk space to install Communicator
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Communicator requires 25-35 MB of free hard-disk space. To reclaim
|
|
unused hard-disk space, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop.
|
|
2. From the File menu, choose Empty Recycle Bin.
|
|
|
|
If you still don't have enough free hard-disk space, delete any
|
|
large files you no longer need, or copy them to diskettes or
|
|
some other type of removable storage device.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Starting Account Setup
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To start Account Setup, from the Start menu, choose Programs, then
|
|
choose Netscape Communicator. From the submenu, choose Account Setup.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Trouble creating a new Internet account
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are having trouble using Account Setup to create a new Internet
|
|
account, review the following points and try again. If Account Setup
|
|
gives you a message that says Connection Error, read the explanation on
|
|
the screen and refer to the appropriate troubleshooting topic in this
|
|
section. Here are some general tips:
|
|
|
|
*Make sure your modem is installed, connected properly to your computer
|
|
and phone line, and turned on.
|
|
*Verify that the correct modem type is selected in the Your Modem screen.
|
|
Look in your modem's documentation to confirm its manufacturer and model
|
|
name. If your modem is not listed in the Your Modem screen, choose Generic
|
|
and your modem's speed (for example, 28.8 kbps). Also, make sure that you
|
|
have selected the port to which your modem is actually connected.
|
|
*If you need to use special dialing prefixes or codes to turn off call
|
|
waiting or to access an outside line before dialing, be sure that you have
|
|
entered the information correctly in the Dialing Settings for Your Location
|
|
screen in Account Setup.
|
|
*Try connecting again. When you connect, follow the directions on the screen
|
|
for establishing an Internet account.
|
|
*The Internet Account Server or the ISP's server might be busy.
|
|
Try connecting again later.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Trouble with your modem
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If Account Setup tells you that there is a problem with your modem,
|
|
or if your modem won't dial, the problem is probably easy to correct.
|
|
Here are some general tips:
|
|
|
|
*Verify that the power switch of your modem is on. You might even turn
|
|
the modem off and then on again, just to make sure.
|
|
|
|
*Check the Your Modem screen in Account Setup. See your modem's
|
|
documentation to confirm its manufacturer and model name. If your modem
|
|
is not listed in the Your Modem screen in Account Setup, choose Generic
|
|
and your modem's speed (for example, 28.8 kbps). Also, make sure that
|
|
you have selected the port to which your modem is actually connected.
|
|
|
|
*Make sure that your modem is connected properly. See your modem's
|
|
documentation for details. In general, for external modems, one cable
|
|
goes from the modem to the telephone wall jack, another cable goes from
|
|
the modem to the telephone itself, and a third cable goes from the modem
|
|
to the back of the computer, usually into the modem port (the modem port
|
|
is marked by a telephone icon). On some modems, a power cord reaches from
|
|
the modem to the wall power socket. Make sure all cables and the power
|
|
cord are firmly plugged in.
|
|
|
|
*Verify that your modem was installed properly. Some modems include special
|
|
software that needs to be installed on your computer. If you are not sure
|
|
about whether your modem includes special software, see the modem's
|
|
documentation. If you aren't sure whether the software is present on
|
|
your computer, reinstall the software according to the manufacturer's
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
*See Windows online help for more modem troubleshooting tips.

|
|
No dial tone on the telephone line
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you use a voice messaging system provided by a phone company
|
|
and your modem uses your regular phone line, you might need to get your
|
|
messages before you can connect to your Internet account.
|
|
|
|
Some voice messaging systems alert you to the fact that you have
|
|
new messages by changing the ordinary dial tone of your phone to
|
|
a fast dial tone (an on-off-on-off dial tone). When this happens,
|
|
your modem, unable to detect an ordinary dial tone, can't dial out.
|
|
The solution is to get your new messages. When you have heard and
|
|
acted on all of your new messages, your normal, continuous dial tone
|
|
will be restored and you can connect to the Internet.
|
|
|
|
Pick up the receiver of your phone and see if you can hear the dial tone.
|
|
If you can't, then another telephone on the same line might be off the hook,
|
|
or there might be something wrong with your telephone line. Make sure that
|
|
your phone line is plugged into your modem.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Internet Account Server connection is cut off
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Your phone line might have a service, such as call waiting, that is
|
|
interrupting your phone call. In Account Setup, make sure you've entered
|
|
the characters that turn off call waiting. (If you are not sure how to
|
|
turn off call waiting, contact your local telephone company or operator.)
|
|
|
|
It is also possible that you were disconnected automatically because
|
|
your computer was idle for a certain length of time. Try reconnecting
|
|
from Account Setup. Another possibility is that your modem is trying to
|
|
transfer data too fast. Make sure you specified the right type of modem
|
|
in Account Setup and reconnect. To change the modem or call waiting
|
|
settings you entered in Account Setup, you must exit from Account Setup
|
|
and start it again.
