`CHAPTER 4
`
`Loading and
`Configuring Netscape
`for the Macintosh
`
`Microsoft Corp. E
`
`The Internet hastraditionally been difficult to understand and use for two
`reasons: it’s vast, andit’s arcane.
`Thesize of the Internetis easy to see. When Valvoline advertises its Web page
`address (http://www.valvoline.com/) during televised stock car races in
`the southeast United States, you realize that the Internet hasspread into parts
`of our lives unimaginable 10 or more years ago. No one expects the Internet
`to becomeanyless pervasive any time soon,if ever.
`In the early days of the Internet, Internet access wasdifficult. Everyonein-
`volved in the Internet received access through their professional careers in
`academia and the military. Since the Internet was built primarily by linking
`computer systemsthat spoke variousflavors of UNIX, UNIX knowledge be-
`came the required passport. When the Internet grew large enough that
`people could not hopeto find what they needed just casting about by them-
`selves, search tools were created with nameslike FTP, Telnet, Gopher, Archie,
`and Veronica. These tools were created for use by computer professionals,
`and were not designed for today’s average user of the Internet.
`Since 1990, the World Wide Web hasbeen created as a user-friendly way to
`link manyof these information resources and search engines together. The
`first Web browser, NCSA Mosaic, was a wonderful improvementin ease-of-
`use of the Internet. Since Mosaic’sfirst version, many other Web browsers,in-
`cluding Netscape, have been developed. While there are many Web browsers,
`one study in the spring of 1995 estimated that three-quarters of all Web ac-
`cess was through a Netscape browser. This chapterdiscusses how to get
`Netscape 2.0 running on your Macintosh computer.

`
`1-2-3: DOWNLOAD NETSCAPE SOFTWARE
`
`Getting Netscape
`The two mostlikely ways for you to install Netscape on your Macintosh are
`either by downloading a newer version of Netscape with an already-installed
`older version of Netscape or other World Wide Web browser, or using floppy
`disks from a purchased copy of Netscape. If you are installing Netscape from a
`set of floppy disks, follow the instructions provided.
`If you are using Netscape or another Web browser, the URL for downloading
`the most current version of Netscape is http://home.netscape.com/
`comprod/mirror/index.html.
`If you have FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software, you can look for the FTP site
`ftp.netcom.com.If thatsite is busy, try ftp2.netcom.com,
`ftp3.netcom.com, ftp4.netcom.com, ftp5.netcom.com,
`ftp6.netcom.com,or ftp7.netcom.com. After you get through to the FTP
`site, look for the folder thefiles are stored in. As of this writing, the full path
`for the 2.0 beta release of Netscape is ftp.netcom.com/2.0beta/
`netscape/mac/netscape2.0-b1.hqx.
`The Netscape Now! page is where you always find the most current version of
`the Netscape software(see fig. 4.1).

`
`If you already have Netscape andareinstalling a newerversion, find Netscape on
`your Macintosh and note whatfolder the applicationis in. If you are downloading
`Netscape with an older edition of Netscape, choose the Preferences command from
`the Options menu, and then look at the Directories and Applications dialog box to
`see the default FTP download directory. If the default FTP directory is the same folder
`your current Netscapeis located in, change the downloadfolder to another folder.If
`you do notchangethe default download directory, you will overwrite yourcurrently
`
`Follow Netscape’s instructions on the following pagesofits Website. After
`you downloadthe file, you need to uncompressthe compressedfile.
`
`Installation Requirements
`In order to install Netscape, you need a Macintosh that has a 68020 processor
`or better, can run System 7.0 orlater, and has at least 3MB of free RAM and
`about 3MBof hard disk space.
`
`Note
`
`Netscapewill not run on the MacPlus, SE, Classic, Portable, or Powerbook 100.
`
`Any helper applications you install will also want additional memory, from
`less than 400KBfor StuffIt Expander to 2.5MB or more for Whurlwind. You
`also need at least a 14,400 baud modem.
`
`The previous paragraph discussed the minimum requirements for Netscape
`on the Macintosh. A morerealistic setup would have a Macintosh with the
`following:
`
`@ Either a 68040 or PowerPC processor
`@ At least 8MBof total RAM (notfree RAM,although more RAMis always
`better)
`@ A color monitor(to take advantage of the image display capability of
`Netscape)
`
`M@ The fastest modem you can find (28,800 external modemsfor the
`Macintoshare available for under $150 as of this writing)
`
`Netscape, like almost every other application, performs better with more
`memory. For better performanceandreliability, a good generalrule for
`Macintosh softwareis to set the “minimum size” memory requirementto 25

`
`percent higher thanits default setting. Also, you canset Netscape’s cache
`value higher, so that more images and Web pagesare stored on your hard
`disk, which gives you faster response when jumping to a Webpage you’ve
`visited in that session. With a large cache, your newsreader andelectronic
`mail requirements, several helper applications (sound, video, uncompressing
`files, VRML, and so on), and your Netscape and helper applications folder
`(counting the additionscreated in the Preferences folder of the System
`Folder) could easily reach 6MB or more of memory and 20MBor more of
`hard disk space.
`
`Installing Netscape
`After you have the Netscapeinstaller icon on your Macintosh desktop,
`double-click the icon to display the Netscape Installer window shown in
`figure 4.2.

`MacTCPis the Macintosh version of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
`Internet Protocol) used by research organizations, universities, and the
`Internet to allow different types of computers to connect with each other
`over a network.
`
`
`

`
`SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) and PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) are pro-
`tocols that use TCP/IP to make your personal computera part of the Internet
`as longasthelink to yourISP (Internet service provider) stays open.
`
`Note
`
`If you have Netscape or another World Wide Web browser running on your
`Macintosh already and are just upgrading yourversion of Netscape, you have
`MacTCP and someform of SLIP/PPP working already. Skip ahead to the “Setting
`Basic Preferences” section of this chapter for information on how to customize your
`
`version of Netscape to work best for you.

`
`You also need either SLIP or PPP software to allow Netscape for Macintosh to
`talk to MacTCP. Apple does not supply SLIP or PPP software, but there are
`several shareware and freeware packages available.
`
`Note
`
`SLIP has almostentirely died out; almost everyone is using a PPP connection. SLIP
`software (such as InterSLIP) tends to be foundin the samearchive location as PPP
`
`software, so if you need SLIP, just follow my pointers to PPP software.

`After you download and uncompressthefile, the PPP software will be a con-
`trol panel with a READMEfile. Install the PPP software by dragging the icons
`onto the closed System Folder, and then restart your Macintosh.
`
`If you are installing MacTCP and ConfigPPP, you need severalpieces of infor-
`mation from yourInternet Service Provider or system administrator.If they
`support Macintoshesatall, they may havea setof instructions prepared for
`configuring MacTCP, ConfigPPP, and Netscape.
`
`For MacTCP, you need to know thefollowing information to enter into the

`
`For ConfigPPP, you need the following information to enter in the Config
`window:
`
`PPP server name
`
`Port speed of your Macintosh
`Flow control to use
`Type oftelephoneline (tone dial or pulse dial)
`Telephone numberto dial
`Modem Init string
`Connectscript for establishing connection
`If you havedifficulty configuring MacTCP and ConfigPPP, note thesetips:
`If you are trying to enter values into the More window of MacTCP and
`the onlyfields you can enter valuesin are the Domain Nameand IP
`addresses in the lower-right corner, you should set the Obtain Address
`buttons in the upper-left corner to Manually. Once youare done enter-
`ing values in this window, rememberto set the Obtain Address button
`to the correct choice.
`If you’ve entered all your information and you're having problems
`connecting, double-check everything. People often have trouble with
`typing errors. Get a friend or coworkerto verify thatall the information
`you have on-screen is correct.
`If you'restill having trouble and there’s another Macintosh that works
`with the networkor service provider, find whoever is responsible for
`that Macintosh and double-check yoursettings with the settings on the
`working Macintosh. Rememberthat the connection script entered into
`ConfigPPP can include the username and password,so let the person
`responsible for that Macintosh preserve his privacy. You might ask him
`to makea copy of the Control Panels you need, delete his passwords
`from the copies, and give them to you on a floppy disk. Copying their
`setup to your Macintosh eliminates most of the setup this section de-
`scribes how to do.
`
`Configuring Netscape Preferences
`Netscape can be customized in many ways. Most of the options ask you to
`choose which you prefer, more graphics or more speed. The Options menu
`containscontrols for you to set many parameters of Netscape’s appearance
`and behavior. There are four major windowsandfive toggled controls that
`can be selected from the Options menu.

`
`The Appearances Screen
`The Appearances screen containsthree panels: Toolbars, Startup, and Link
`Styles. The Toolbars panel controls whether the buttons on the main
`Netscape toolbar appearas text-only, picture-only, or pictorial buttons with
`text labels. If you want the windowfor your Web pageviewing to beaslarge
`as possible, set this for text-only.
`
`The Startup panel controls what Web page Netscape loads whenitis first
`started, and what windows(for Web, mailbox, or UseNet news) are launched
`on startup. You can enter any URL (Universal Resource Locator) youlike for
`the startup page.

`
`Chapter 4—Loading and Configuring Netscape for the Macintosh
`
`Onetip to speed Netscape’s startup is to have your startup page be a pagelocal to
`your computer, which doesn’t have to be downloaded over your network connec-
`tion. If you set the startup page to a local HTML file on your hard disk, Netscape
`typically takesless time to access a hard disk than to download a Web pageoverits
`Internet connection.
`
`Link Styles controls whether or not you want links to appear on Web pagesas
`underlined or not, and how long you wantNetscape to keep a record of you
`following a given link. The default value of this Followed Links Expire option
`is 30 days, but you can set the time from 0 (a followed link neverlooksdiffer-
`ent from one you haven’t looked at) to Never (a followed link will always
`look different than one you haven’tlookedat).
`
`Expired Links as Trail Markers?
`
`About now, somebodyis thinking, “I can use these expiredlinks as markers of where
`lve been!” True, butit’s probably more efficient to mark your trail at just the interest-
`ing points, not every step along the path. On the other hand, expired links could be
`used in an experiment to research how people search for information.
`
`The Bookmarks Screen
`The Bookmarksscreen lets you choose the folder your bookmarksare stored
`in on your Macintosh, and which bookmarksfile you are using as well as
`the one you are addingto. For example,let’s say you are researching multi-
`processor operating systems, and you find the URL for AT&T Bell Lab’s new
`operating system Plan 9. The designers of Plan 9 namedtheir project after the
`Ed Wood,Jr. film Plan 9 from Outer Space, and they have included a Web link
`to a Web site devoted to this movie. With the Bookmarks screen, you can
`open your personal hobbies bookmarksfile and add the bookmarkfor the
`movie to that file. You can then reset the bookmarksfile to your operating
`system researchlist, and continue on with your work.
`
`The Colors Screen
`The Colors screen lets you set the colors for new links, links you haven't
`looked at yet, the text color, and the backgroundcolor. For contrast and
`ease of reading, keep the text color dark and the backgroundcolorlight
`or vice versa, unless you like trying to read purple text on a black back-
`ground.Instead of a color, you can set a background imagefile as the default

`
`background:a useful option if you are setting up Netscapefor a presentation
`and want the companylogo as a faint watermark-like image in the back-
`ground of every page that does not have a defined background.
`
`The Fonts Screen
`The Fonts screen allows you to define the encoding format, the fixed font,
`and the proportional fonts used to draw the pages. You can also choose the
`display size of the fonts. If you find yourself leaning close to your monitor to
`read the words, andthetextis in high contrast to the background, you could
`enlarge the text with these controls.
`
`The Images Screen
`The Imagesscreen includes a choice that may improve Netscape’s perfor-
`mance: Display Images either While, or After Downloading them. The default
`setting is to display an imageas it downloads. If you are on a slow-to-medium
`speed connection, this lets you see the part of an image that has been
`downloaded, giving you the choice of whether to stop the download.If your

`is idle between pieces of a downloading image. If the connectionis faster
`than the computer can process the received information, you may havebet-

`The Applications Screen
`The Applications screen of the General Preferences windowlets you select the
`supporting applicationsto use with a Telnet session (an older, terminal-based
`communication protocol explained in chapter 12), a TN3270 session
`(TN3270 is a fancy version of Telnet), and the application to choose to view
`the HTMLsource of a Web page. On a Macintosh,thisis usually Simpletext.
`However, you can set the View Source application to any word processor or
`HTMLeditor you might have.
`
`The Mail and NewsPreferences Window
`The Mail and NewsPreferences window of the Options menu presents you
`with five ways to customize Netscape for sending and receiving electronic
`mail and reading UseNet newsgroups(seefig. 4.7). Chapters 12, “Accessing
`OtherInternet Services with Netscape,” and 15, “Reading UseNet Newsgroups
`with Netscape,” cover this screen andits optionsin detail, so this section
`only covers the basics of what you needto doin order to get connected to
`your mail and news.

`
`Note
`
`You will need to have the names of the computers,or servers, your Internet connec-
`tion uses as the SMTPserver, the POPserver, and the NNTPserver. You can get these

`
`To set Netscape’s required preferences so that you can send and receive mail
`and read and post to UseNet newsgroups, follow these steps:
`1. First, select the Directories tab. In the Mail panel of the Directories
`screen, enter the name of the SMTP (Simple Message Transaction Proto-
`col) Server and the Mail POP (Point-of-Presence) Serverin thefirst two
`fields at the top of the screen. The two servers may be the same, but
`they don’t haveto be.
`In the Newspanel at the bottom of the Directories screen, enter the
`name of the newsserver.
`3. Select the Identity tab. The Identity screen contains information Netscape
`uses to identify you to the outside world when you send a message.
`4. Enter your name.This is the name you want the rest of the Internet to
`know you as, and does not have to be your real name.
`5. Enter your e-mail address so messages you send can have a return ad-
`dress attached to them. Your e-mail address will look like
`words_or_numbers@more_words_or_numbers. Your POPuser ID is the
`part of your e-mail addressto theleft of the @ symbol. Your reply-to
`address does not have to be the sameas the address of the account you
`are sending from.
`6. Click OK. To save your work, from the Options menu, choose Save Options.

`The Cachescreenlets you set the size of the cache Netscapeuses on thelocal
`hard disk of your computer, and where you wantthe cache to be on your
`Macintosh. Netscape’s cache does not haveto be in the samefolder or even
`the samedisk drive where Netscapeis located.If you decide to go back toa
`Webpagethat you’ve already downloaded, Netscape will look at the version
`you downloadedfive minutes ago, instead of reconnecting to the network
`and downloading the page again (which probably hasn’t changedin five
`minutes). Loading the page from your hard disk will always, except in very
`special circumstances, be faster than reloading the page from your network
`connection.

`from the cache.
`
`If you think the page has changedin thelast five minutes (for example, there are
`several people who have wired digital camerasto their Internet connection and
`update their Web page every minute with a snapshotoftheir office), selecting the
`Reload button will always load the page from your network connection, and not

`
`Netscape’s default setting for the cache is SMB, and you can changethis to a
`higher or lower value. Reducing the cache size to below 1MBis not recom-
`mended, as some individual Web pagesandfiles can exceed 1MBin size. Re-
`ducing the cache too low causes Netscape to act as if it has no cache, which
`can severely limit performance.
`The Connectionsscreen lets you set the numberof simultaneous connections
`Netscape can keep operating at any moment. When you connect to a Web
`page with many images, Netscape is actually trying to load four (the default
`setting) of the imagesat the same time. The only difficulty is that since your
`network connection doesn’t grow in size as youraise the numberof simulta-
`neous connections, Netscape takes as long to download a Webpagefour con-
`nectionsat a time as it does to download the same page one connection at a
`time. You can probably avoid this screen and leave the default value of four
`in place, and never worry about changing the value.
`Proxies are applications that are substitutes (that is, they act as a stand-in) for
`your sametypeof application. Proxies are rarely present for any other reason
`than to act as guardson the firewall on a network. You will need to ask your
`system administratorif there are any proxies presentfor use across a firewall,
`and whatsettings you need to make in Netscape in order to use them.
`Individuals have different concerns over their privacy and personal security.
`While oneresident of an apartment building may use only the latch lock on
`their door and leave the windowsopenall day, their neighbor may have two
`deadbolt locks on each door and bars on the windows. Netscape lets you
`choose how often you wantto be shownanalert when the security level of
`the page youare looking at changes (see fig. 4.9).
