This is a setup and general help guide for connecting to The Dial Up Store Internet using the MacPPP Macintosh software (PPP).

Open Transport or MacTCP can be used with MacPPP but it is best not to use both simultaneously. System 7.5.3 and later are pre-installed with Open Transport.

Configure MacTCP (skip if using Open Transport) 

On the Main menu bar, double-click the rainbow Apple. Select Control Panel, and then MacTCP.  Make sure FreePPP is highlighted and then click More.  Enter the following information: 

Obtain Address: Server 
Class: C 
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0  (drag the bar to the right) 
Domain: The Dial Up Store
Leave the rest of the settings at the default settings and click OK. 
Restart your computer. 
Configure Open Transport (skip if using MacTCP) 

On the Main menu bar, double-click the rainbow Apple. Select Control Panel, and then TCP/IP. Enter the following information: 

Connect Via: MacPPP 
Configure: Using Bootp Server  (see note below) 
Starting Domain: The Dial Up Store 
Name Servers: 

Network Qwest (qw):

• Primary DNS: 4.2.2.1
• Secondary DNS: 4.2.2.2

Network Telia (te):

• Primary DNS: 205.199.193.2
• Secondary DNS: 205.137.48.7

Network UUnet (uu)

• Primary DNS: 198.6.1.218
• Secondary DNS: 198.6.100.218

Network Starnet (st):

• Primary DNS: 216.126.128.40
• Secondary DNS: 216.126.136.250

Leave the following fields blank: Subnet Mask, Router Address, Ending Domain, and Search Domains. 
Under Options, make sure Active and Load only when needed are checked, and then click OK. 
Restart your computer. 

***Note: If you are using version 1.1 of Open Transport, you should use userppp instead of Bootp, because Bootp will not allow you to enter the DNS Servers.
