Dialup Numbers Information

The following settings are a handy reference summary of the various details you may need to configure your computer for dial in access to Vicnet.

If you have the Vicnet Internet Access Kit - Ringwood Edition, you can use this to configure a connection to Vicnet automatically, without having to use the settings below. However it is always a good idea to keep these settings handy just in case.

NOTE: Vicnet uses dynamic IP address allocation so you will not have your own IP number permanently but will only be given one for the time you are logged on.
