Pressing the DISCONNECT button at any time will close the connection. News and Mail: The current version of WinNT does not come with a newsreader. The latest version of MS Explorer does provide a newsreader function. In Explorer, under VIEW menu, OPTIONS, then NEWS tab, enter news.znet.com for the server address. Other news programs that work with WinNT are: Agent, NewsXepress, Netscape, and many others. Where prompted, use the name server name from your New Account Quickstart as a news server setting.

Many other email programs are available such as, Eudora, Netscape, and others. Use the Incoming and Outgoing mail server names from your New Account Quickstart for the setting in POP Server / Incoming Mail Server and in SMTP / Outgoing Mail server. Account and password for your email account(s) can also be found on your Quickstart. Troubleshooting: Your username and password must be entered exactly as shown in lower-case, with no spaces. In some instances, where the connection fails, the SOFTWARE COMPRESSION will need to be disabled: On the newly created AzNET icon, right-click and select PROPERTIES. Press the SERVER TYPE button and select PPP. LOG ON should be checked and ENABLE SOFTWARE COMPRESSION should not be checked. If you have a version with PPP scripting, you may not need to have the terminal widow open at the start of each session. Consult the Win95 help section in the ACCESSORIES | DIAL-UP SCRIPTING TOOL section, if present. Always shut-down and restart the system after making any changes to the NETWORK or DIAL-UP settings. A searchable index of articles and troubleshooting is available from the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://www.microsoft.com If your modem fails to connect, consult your modem manual for the right settings.
