Let's get started!
Put in the Web Browser disc that came with your Dreamcast. This disc contains everything you'll
need to get online with your Dreamcast. You will be given an opportunity to either setup a new
Internet account with AT&T WorldNet Service or your "current ISP" (that's Express56).
Make sure you click the "Use my current ISP" button (see picture) to use your Express56 account.
|
If you accidentally click the "Register for AT&T WorldNet Service" or mess up your settings and
want to start over from factory settings, here's how you do it:
1) Turn off your Dreamcast
2) Unplug all controllers.
3) Plug one controller into the B port.
4) Hold down the (B) and (X) buttons on the controller and keep holding them down.
5) Turn on your Dreamcast with the Web Browser disc in the drive.
6) Wait until a screen similar to the one on the left displays on your screen. This indicates you have reset your Dreamcast.
(You can let go of the (B) and (X) buttons now.)
|
|
At any time in the process you can press the START button and the "Command Cluster" (see picture) will pop up.
This is your control panel for the Dreamcast.
Using the 4-way digital control (we'll call it a controller from now on) choose the "OPTIONS" button on the bottom
right and then press the (A) button
|
|
After clicking the "Use my current ISP" button, you will see a list of all the things we will need to set up.
In fact, for those who want to grab all this info and set up their Dreamcasts without any further assistance,
here's the data for yourusername@express56.com:
· User Login ID: yourusername@express56.com
· User Password: You should know this
· Email Password: same as User Password
· Email Return Address: yourusername@express56.com
|
· ISP Phone ##s: Get your local number here
· POP3 Server Name: mail.express56.com
· DNS Addresses: 204.117.214.10 and 199.2.252.10
· SMTP Server Name: mail.express56.com
· Email Login ID: yourusername
· Proxy Server: no proxy info needed
Move your cursor over the "Ok" button and press the (A) button to move to the next step...

After clicking "Ok" you will see the Internet Setup screen (left). There are three sections to this screen.
We'll start with the first of the three sections: "Internet Connection". Position the pointer over the "Internet Connection"
button and press the (A) button on your controller.
|
|
The "Internet Connection" window will appear. You should click on the first field ("Your Real Name")
which will cause the virtual keyboard to appear. Use the 4-way digital control to move your pointer over
keys on the virtual keyboard and the (A) button on your controller to type in the information on this screen.

|
This is an example of all the information typed into this form. The username and passwords will all depend on your
account settings. When you're finished typing in all your information, move your cursor over the "Close" button on the
virtual keyboard and press the (A) button on your controller.
|
|
After the virtual keyboard disappears, move your cursor over the "Ok" button and press the (A) button on your
controller to go to Dial Options. This is an example of all the information typed into this form.
|
|
Move your pointer over the "Ok" button and press the (A) button on your controller to go to Proxy Settings.
This next step is easy! You'll notice how there is nothing to change on this screen. All you have to do is move
your cursor over the "Ok" button and press the (A) button on your controller. This will take you to general
setup screen.Move the pointer over the Email Account icon and press the (A) button to enter the e-mail
setup screen. Use your account information to type it in.
You are ready to connect now.Enjoy!
