Turning On the Lab Machines When you first turn on a lab machine, you will see a Novell Netware login dialog box. If you have a Providence College Network Account, enter your User Name and password. Otherwise, enter your User Name as labuser and do not enter a password. Just click on OK. Logging Off the Network Each time you finish working using the network, you must remember to log off. To log off, either shut down Windows 95 and turn off the machine or select Start|Shut Down|Close all programs and log on as a different user and replace your User Name with labuser. It is important that you remember to log off each time you finish using the network. Failure to log off will allow the next person using the machine to access your private network directory and will preclude you from accessing the network at a later time.

If you still don't see yours, do step 3. through 6. Note that if you did not follow step 1. above and thus did not have your own bookmark file open from your floppy disk when you saved them in the first place, they won't be in the bookmark file on the disk now. 3. Select Bookmarks|Go to Bookmarks from the Netscape menu. 4. Select File | Open from the Netscape menu. 5. Switch to the A: drive and highlight the file BOOKMARK.HTM. Make sure it is the bookmark file from the A: drive and not the C: drive. 6. Click on Open and you should see your own bookmarks. If you don't see them, bring your disk to the Help Desk on the first floor of Accino.
