Once the Internet connection is established, any networked client PCs can automatically access the Internet by launching their web browsers or mail programs. The Internet LanBridge server PC must be fully booted before any other networked PCs can log on to the network. It is strongly recommended that you leave the server PC powered on at all times while you are using your network. When you log on to the Internet over the phoneline network, it may take a few minutes before your clients' Internet stream is clean and running smoothly. If you want multiple email accounts for each user on your network, you must first determine if your Internet Service Provider will allow you to have multiple mail addresses on one dial-up account. You can either call them, send them an email from an existing account, or visit the ISP's website for more information. You must use the SAME proxy software on all of your networked PCs to avoid system crashes and an unstable Internet connection. If you wish to use LanBridge on PCs previously installed with other proxy server software, you must uninstall all other software before beginning LanBridge installation.
