Host and Domain Names

Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like jsmith or earthlink.net. If you haven’t been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples as a guide:

If your main e-mail account with your ISP is aaa@yyy.com, then use aaa as your host name. (Your ISP might call this your account name, user name, or system name.)

If your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.com, then use xxx.yyy.com as the domain name. Host name:_____________________________________

Domain name: __________________________________

Login Name

If your ISP requires a login name and password (possibly because you have a PPPoE account), fill in the following:

Login name:____________________________________

(may be your full e-mail address)

Password:______________________________________

Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by your ISP. The login name is case sensitive. You must type it exactly as given by your ISP. For example, c_jones is a different login name than C_Jones or cjones.

Fixed (or static) IP address

If you have a static IP address through your ISP, fill in the following information: IP address: _____._____._____._____

Subnet mask: _____._____._____._____

Gateway IP address:_____._____._____._____

DNS server address information

If you were given specific Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses, fill in the following: DNS Server IP address(es): _____._____._____._____

_____._____._____._____
