you will need to dial 0198 379 100. Accounts that require static IP's
are:
- Voyager Home

Note: If you are dialling from ACT
you will need to contact iiNet on 13 2258 to obtain a dial-in number as
currently this service does not support ACT.
If you installed your Internet software from one of iiNet's Internet Kits, your Internet
software should be configured correctly for your use with our system. Often you may wish to
experiment with some new software not in our pack, or upgrade some software. This guide should
help you with any of the settings you may need to set.
Domain Name Server (DNS)
This server can be used as both your primary and your secondary DNS.
DNS Server..................: 203.0.178.191
Mail Settings
There are two different mail settings you may need.
Firstly there is the incoming mail server, also know as the POP server, or simply the mail
server. For dialup customers, it depends on your account type, but it
should generally be "mail.iinet.net.au".
Secondly, there is the outgoing mail server, also known as the SMTP server. This should be set
to "mail.m.iinet.net.au".
POP Server .................: mail.iinet.net.au
SMTP Server.................: mail.m.iinet.net.au
Email Address (WA)..........: username@iinet.net.au

SMTP Server.................: mail.m.iinet.net.au

World Wide Web/Proxy Configuration
We recommend you leave your proxy configuration blank, as we have a system
which will transparently switch you through a proxy when it is
expedient to do so.
USENet/News Settings
iiNet has a network of Network News servers which you can contact. These servers can also be
referred to as NNTP servers.
News Server ................: freenews.iinet.net.au
IRC (Chat) Servers
There are a variety of Internet Relay Chat servers that you can use on the Internet. IRC
servers are generally in a state of flux due to a bureaucracy that surrounds their operation,
hence these servers could change at any time.
Austnet
Austnet is available at irc.iinet.net.au
Oz Undernet
The Australia Undernet is a small IRC Network specific to Australia that can be accessed at
perth.oz.org
Undernet
The world-wide Undernet is accessible at us.undernet.org, however many of the sites this point
to do not allow connections from Australia. This means you may not always connect first time to
this network.
