Note to all Windows 2000 Users

The current version of the SnowCrest CD (version 3.0) cannot install Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 2000. It is recommended that you use the Netscape Communicator installation instead as the easiest way to get on line quickly.

To set up Internet Explorer and Outlook Express to run on Windows 2000, use the procedure listed below.
If you want to, you can also set the SnowCrest home page to be your default home page. To do this, follow this link.

1. Go to "Start", "Settings", and "Network and Dial-up Connections"

 

2. Double-click on "Make new Connection"

 

3. At the Network Connection Wizard, click "Next"

 

4. Select "Dial-up to the Internet"

 

5. Select "I want to set up my Internet connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area (LAN)"

 

6. Select "I connect through a phone line and a modem"

 

7. Enter the telephone number provided to you by SnowCrest. This phone number is on the sheet labeled "Important Settings for Windows Installation"

 

8. Enter your account name and password. These are also on the sheet labeled "Important Settings for Windows Installation"

 

9. Name the connection "SnowCrest" and click "Next"

 

10. Select "Yes" and click "Next"

 

11. If this screen comes up, select "Create a new Internet mail account"

15. Enter your account name and password. Note that you should NOT put in the "@snowcrest.net"
