Connecting to Outside Notes Server

Connect to the Internet, either at LECOM or at home.  If you have AOL, MSN, or another ISP with a special browser window, you will have to minimize their browser.  Then open up Internet Explorer. 
(If you have DSL, Cable Modem, or a router to share Internet Access at home, you will need to go to Tools and select Internet Options, then choose the Advanced tab, and check the box, under browsing that allows Passive FTP. - Dial-up users do not need to do this).

Press the Ctrl and the o keys at the same time.  You will get the box below.

In this open dialog box, type in ftp://logon:password@12.25.87.50, however you should replace logon with your username and password your e-mail password. (For example: type in ftp://jdoe:2jfp8932@12.25.87.50 )

After you are logged on, you can download your notes the same way, as you have in the past.  (Right click the file you wish to download, and choose Copy to Folder, then choose the location you wish to save to.)

Creating a Notes Shortcut

Right click on your desktop and select New then Shortcut from the menu.  In the box type: ftp:// your logon name, a colon and then your password, followed by @12.25.87.50.  (For example:  ftp://jdoe:2jfp8932@12.25.87.50)  Click Next.

Give your shortcut a name such as "Notes Oustide LECOM" or "LECOM Notes" and click the Finish button.

After you are connected to the Internet you can double click the shortcut to access the notes either from home or LECOM
