Configure your email client
Most email clients do not need any special setup in order to function over your DSL connection. One
exception to this is Microsoft Outlook Express. If you use a mail client other than Outlook Express, try
sending and receiving your email. If the program prompts you to dial up, consult the program's help files to
determine how to connect over a LAN. If you do use Outlook Express, please consult the directions on the
next page.
