Dear Judy,

You've probably found out how to do it by now, but just in case (and  
I've just been tuning up a brand new Mac -- the old one was throwing  
a real spark every time I tried to start it, which made a change from  
the less tangible tangles to be expected from these spawn of the devil!

Anyway -- I needed to call  my ISP help folk, who led me through step  
by step entering the correct letters and figures into the correct boxes.

You may well find that they are the only keepers of these arcane  
formulae, as far as my ISP goes, the client can't just guess.

Then type VERY carefully: I typed a colon instead of a point and it  
took a day to spot it.

Good Luck! - Ross
