Configuring Network Settings
In the Apple menu, select 'Location' and 'Network Preferences'.

On the Network Panel, click on the 'Configure' drop-down menu and choose 'Internal Modem' (unless you are using a computer with an external modem). Now click on the 'TCP/IP' tab, and select 'Using PPP' in the drop-down menu. Make sure the boxes are empty and click on the 'PPP' tab.

On the 'PPP' tab, enter 'Leapfrog Internet' into the 'Service Provider' field. In the next field, put the number that your computer will be dialing to access the Internet. If there is a secondary access number in your area, please feel free to enter that number as well (optional).

**Please note it is the customer's responsibility to find the correct access number that is a local call.**

In the next field, type in your login name with an lfi (short for leapfrog internet) at the beginning (for example: if your login name is john, enter lfijohn). At the end of your user name, enter the appropriate network extension from one of the tables below. Your network code was either sent to you in a welcome email if you signed up over the phone or was on the confirmation page if you signed up online:

An example user name might look like this: lfijohn@vdialup.net or jane@leapmail.net

**Note this username masking is necessary for network authentication purposes. If you are unsure which ending to use, please contact us at support@leapmail.net**

After your complete login name has been entered, type your password in the bottom field and make sure the 'Save password' box is checked. Now click on the 'PPP Options' button.

Now make sure you check the boxes exactly as shown below, then hit 'OK'.

Now click on the 'Proxies' tab. These settings should be left as shown unless you are an advanced user and know exactly what you're doing.

Now click on the 'Modem' tab and select your modem from the 'Modem' drop-down list. If you are using a machine with a built-in modem, your default will probably be 'Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)'. Leave the other settings as shown and hit 'Save'. Your settings are now complete and you are ready to surf the Internet!
