Connecting your Sega Dreamcast to jellico.com, Inc.

You can dial into your jellico.com, Inc. account from a Sega Dreamcast to surf the web and use the Dreamcast's Internet features. Just follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Insert the "Web Browser" CD-ROM which came with your Dreamcast.



2. Turn the Dreamcast's power on if you haven't already.
   
   After a few seconds you should see the following three screens come up in this order:
   
   a) The "Dreamcast" logo on a white background with a red spiral.
   
   b) The world "PlanetWeb" logo on a mostly blue background.
   
   c) "Sega Dreamcast Network", with "(ENTER)" and "(E-MAIL)" underneath it.



3. When that last screen appears, push the triangular "Start" button at the bottom-middle of the game controller. A menu of sorts should appear with a little house labeled "Home" in the middle.



4. Use the knob in the upper-left corner of the game controller to position the cursor on "Options" at the lower-right corner of the menu which popped up when you hit the "Start" button. You will know it is positioned properly when the six-sided "Options" selection highlights with a bright lime-green outline.



5. Push the red button on the upper-right of the game controller labeled "A" to select the highlighted "Options" menu item.
   
   A new screen will appear with the choices "Internet Connection", "Email Account" and "Display Settings".



6. Using the control knob in the upper-left hand corner of the game controller, position the cursor over "Internet Connection". It will highlight with a bright lime-green border when the cursor is properly positioned.



7. Select "Internet Connection" by pushing the red button labeled "A".
   
   A new screen will appear which has three fields at the top labeled "Basic Info", "Dial Options" and "Proxy Setting". You will be on the "Basic Info" fill-in form.



8. Using the knob position the cursor over first field labeled "Your Real Name" and select it with the red button. If you don't have a keyboard attached to the Dreamcast, an image of a typewriter keyboard will appear on the screen. By positioning the cursor over each key in turn and hitting the red button you can "type" in your real name.
   
   When you are done entering this field, select "CLOSE" on the lower-right hand corner of the keyboard and use the knob to go on to the next field.



9. Using the techniques just explained in the previous step, 7, enter your jellico.com account name in the field labeled "User Login:", your jellico.com account password in the field labeled "Password:", and the phone number you dial to log into jellico.com in the "Dial-Up Number:" field.
   
   You can leave the "Backup Number" field blank. For the two fields labeled "DNS1" and "DNS2" use:
   
   

           DNS1:  207.191.185.4
           DNS2:  207.191.185.8
   

   
   
   Those are the "Domain Name Server" host addresses which which provide your Dreamcast with information it needs to get to other sites on the Internet.



10. Position the cursor over the "OK" choice and push the red button. The screen will change to "Dial Options".
    
    Using the same techniques as you used to fill in the "Basic Info" form fill in this "Dial Options" form.
    
    Enter your area code (such as 423 or 606) in the field labeled "Area code you are dialing from".
    
    Enter a 1 in the "Long distance call prefix" field.
    
    If you want to disable the Call Waiting feature of your phone line during the call enter "*70" in the "Call waiting prefix" field (the correct setting may be different in some areas.)
    
    "Outside dial prefix" can probably be left blank. This would be used in the case where some digit (usually 9) must be pressed to make calls to phone numbers outside of an in-house phone system.
    
    Choose tone or pulse dialing as appropriate, almost certainly tone.
    
    Set "Dial area code" to "On" or "Off" as appropriate. You probably want Off unless you must dial into jellico.com as a long distance call.
    
    "Blind dial" should be set "Off". Blind dialing tells the modem to pick up the phone line and just begin dialing without waiting for a dial tone. This is rarely needed so you almost certainly want to select "Off" for this field.



11. Move the cursor to "OK" and push the red button, this will change the screen to "Proxy Setting". Set the "Use Proxy" choice to "No".
    
    
12. Again, move the cursor over "OK" on this "Proxy Setting" screen and hit the red button.
    
    You'll be back at the original "Options" menu with the three choices: "Internet Connection", "Email Account" and "Display Settings". You might want to explore the other two options (Email and Display) to see if there's anything you would like to change. (The only non-obvious settings under "Email Account" are that your "Email Login" is your jellico.com username and that the POP3 and SMTP servers are:
    • < mail.jellico.com if your e-mail address ends in @jellico.com, @jellico.net, @campbellcounty.com or @copperhill.com
    • tcnet.net if your e-mail address ends in @tcnet.net
    
    
    When you're done position over "Save" and hit the red button to save your settings.
    
    Note: You do not have to have a "Memory Card" plugged into the controller to save or recall your Internet settings.



13. Congratulations, you're done and ready to actually connect to jellico.com. You should now be back at the mostly blue "Sega Dreamcast Network" screen.
    
    At this point you should check to make sure that your modem is plugged into the phone line!
    
    Move the cursor over "(ENTER)" and hit the red button to select it. A pop-up window labeled "Modem Messages" will appear and the information on the progress of the call (which is mostly indecipherable unless you are familiar with modem commands) will scroll by.
    
    If everything works, the "Modem Messages" window will disappear after a minute or so and the screen will flash and flicker and eventually you'll see a mostly purple screen which says "Welcome to the Dreamcast Network" at the top.
    
    Congratulations, you have logged your Sega Dreamcast into jellico.com and the Internet.



14. Now you can either click on the rectangular icon near the bottom-left labeled "Sega Dreamcast Network" to go to Sega's web site for Dreamcast, or you can push the triangular "Start" button at the bottom-center of the controller to bring up the "Home" menu with the house in the middle.
    
    Move the cursor to the upper-left corner labeled "Search", with the magnifying glass, and hit the red button to select.
    
    This will download a form which lets you search the Internet or enter a specific web address. Let's go to jellico.com's home page:
    
    Move the cursor to the blank field labeled "Go There" and select it with the red button. A keyboard will appear.
    
    Enter http://www.jellico.com/ with the keyboard. Notice that on the left there are single keys for entering common things like "http://www." and ".com/". Also, if you make a mistake you can use the backspace (<-) key in the usual location, upper-right, to make a correction.
    
    When you're finished entering http://www.jellico.com, choose (CLOSE) at the lower-right of the keyboard and the keyboard will disappear.
    
    Move the cursor over "Go There" to the right of what you just typed in and select it with the red button.
    
    jellico.com's main web page should appear. Explore it using the knob to move the cursor and the red button to select highlighted areas on the screen.
    
    You can also go to the "Favorites" cell on the "Home" screen which the "Start" button brings up and either enter your favorite web addresses or tell the Dreamcast to remember the web page you are currently looking at as one of your favorites. This might be a good time to add jellico.com's home page as one of your favorites!



15. At any time you can push the triangular "Start" button to bring up the "Home" menu and use the left and right arrows to move backwards and forwards between recently visited web pages.



16. To send email, position the cursor over the white outline of an envelope on the screen and push the red button which will put you into an e-mail form.



17. To disconnect and hang-up the phone, position over the white arrows which look like "-> <-", and select them with the red button. After a moment they will change and look more like this: "<- ->" which means the phone has been disconnected.
    
    Note that if at any time those arrows change from "-> <-" to "<- ->" it means the phone has hung up and you are disconnected from the Internet. You can click on the arrows to re-dial jellico.com.
