Your current Windows NT username will be the default and should be replaced by your BlueOne username. (Note: It is necessary to include ".ppp" after your UserID). Fill in your password and check the save password box if you wish to avoid typing it in each time. There is a blank for Domain. This is for logging on to a Windows NT domain not an Internet domain... it must be left blank.
