To access AOL (America On Line) through the Load Balancer LB-2, the AOL for Windows software 
must be configured to use TCP/IP network access, rather than a dial-up connection. The 
configuration process is as follows: 

•  Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0 or later. 

This procedure will not work with earlier versions. 

•  Click the Setup button. 
•  Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "Load Balancer LB-

2". 

•  Click Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number blank.)  
•  Click Save, then OK.  

Configuration is now complete.  

•  Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the "Load Balancer LB-2" location. 

From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Load Balancer LB-2. The procedure is as 
follows. 

1.  Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.  

2. Select 

Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu. 

3. Select 

Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left 

blank. 

4.  Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings. 

If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are: 

•  Set the Router Address field to the Load Balancer’s LB-2 IP Address. 
•  Ensure your DNS settings are correct. 

 

To access the Internet via the Load Balancer LB-2, it is only necessary to set the Load Balancer LB-2 
as the "Gateway", and ensure your Name Server settings are correct.
