OnePostal is using a Microsoft Windows NT Web Server right now, and in order to provide easy access we are providing access using the Microsoft Windows Client.  This means that you can simply dial into the Internet and "map a drive" to our machine and directly read and write files ... just like a local drive.

To do this, you must:
 

1. Perform some one-time set-up on your Windows95 machine
2. Have the Microsoft Windows Client installed
3. Add our server to your local LMHOSTS. file
4. Map a drive to our server

One-time set-up of your machine
 

1. Locate your Windows LMHOSTS. file.  It is usually located in your \Windows directory.  If you have never used this before, there is a "sample" file (called LMHOSTS.SAM) that will be located in this directory.  If you can only find the LMHOSTS.SAM file, then make a copy in the same directory called LMHOSTS.
 
2. You will need to edit the LMHOSTS. file, and add the following entry at the end of the file:
 
204.228.140.32        beavis
 
This entry tells your Windows machine the address and actual name of our Web Server.

3. Save the file and that should be it!

This is the "one time" set-up that you will need to do.

Mapping a drive

When you are ready to edit your pages, you will need to dial-in to your Internet Service Provider and make sure that  you can access your web page using your browser.
 

• To Map a Drive, you need to run Windows Explorer, and click the toolbar button to "map a drive" (which looks like a disk drive with a small 'flash' at the upper corner) 
  
  
• You will be prompted for a path.  Use the path of "\\beavis\{domain name}" 
  
  
• (for example to edit the pages for OnePostal, you would use "\\beavis\onepostal". 
  
  
• Your user name that you logged in to Windows95 must be the same as your e-mail name. 
  
  
• Your password is the one provided by our staff. 
  
  
• If you click OK the dialog should disappear and you should now have a drive mapped to our server. 
  
  
• You can now just edit and copy files, using your browser to test to see that they appear properly.
