iRove - The Pay As You Go Global Internet Access for Travelers

Windows 95/98 Global Roaming Internet Access Setup Instructions

Configuring your Global Internet Access connection with Windows 95/98 is easy and takes less than 5 minutes. You will need one of our global Internet access numbers to connect to the Internet. If you don’t already know the number, click the Access Numbers tab on our website to search by area code or by state.

From your desktop, double-click My Computer.
Double-click the Dial-up Networking folder.
Double-click the Make New Connection icon.
Enter a name for the connection (i.e., iRove) and click Next.
Enter your local access number (see notes below) and click Next.
Click the Finish button to close the window and a new icon will appear in your Dial-up Networking folder.
Right-click one time on the new icon and select Create Shortcut from the menu to put a shortcut on your desktop.
Double-click the shortcut and enter your username along with the following prefix: bdu/username (see notes below)
On the same page, enter your password.
To connect, click the Connect button.

Entering Access Numbers: Enter the access number the same way you would enter it if you were dialing the number on a telephone. If you don't need to dial the area code, do not enter the area code.

Entering Your Username: When you manually configure your connection, you must include the bdu/ prefix with your username. In the Username field, enter your username in the following format: bdu/username

Connecting and Disconnecting

Double-click the shortcut on your desktop and then click Connect. When connected, you will see a message that says you are now connected with iRove–nothing else will happen automatically. To go to a Web site, open Internet Explorer from your Programs menu.

To disconnect from the Internet, look for the small icon next to the clock in the lower right corner of your monitor (it looks like two computers connected together). Double-click this icon and you will see a message that tells you how long you've been connected. Click Disconnect to end your session.
