Accessing AOL

To access AOL (America On Line) through The Load Balancer, the AOL for Windows software must
be configured to use TCP/IP network access, rather than a dial-up connection. The configuration
process is as follows:

• Start

the

AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0 or later.

This procedure will not work with earlier versions.

• Click

the

Setup button.

• Select

Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "Load Balancer".

• Click

Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number blank.)

• Click

Save, then OK.

Configuration is now complete.

• Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the "Load Balancer" location.

Macintosh Clients

From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via The Load Balancer. The procedure is as
follows.

1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.

2. Select

Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.

3. Select

Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left

blank.

4. Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.

Note:

If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are:

• Set

the

Router Address field to The Load Balancer’s IP Address.

• Ensure

your

DNS settings are correct.

Linux Clients

To access the Internet via The Load Balancer, it is only necessary to set The Load Balancer as the
"Gateway", and ensure your Name Server settings are correct.

Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.

Fixed IP Address

By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP
Address, make the following changes to your configuration.
