1. Go to the "Start" menu at the bottom left corner of your screen, and select "Run".

2. When a new box opens up type \\zep\bantam in the “open:” text field.

3.  When prompted, enter your username and password.  Please note that when entering in your username please do so by typing cmpcntr\username.  For example, if my name was John Smith I would login by typing “cmpcntr\jsmith” in the username text field.

4. After entering in a valid username and password a new box should open up displaying everything stored on the bantam server.  Note: for students trying to access virus software/updates you can find them by double clicking on the “VirusSoftware” folder.

If you can't find the Bantam "alias" in the Network Servers folder, follow these steps to use the Chooser to mount Bantam:

1. Point and click on the Apple Menu icon (the little apple in the top left corner of your screen)

2. Drag down and select Chooser. The Chooser then opens.

3. In the Chooser, click on the AppleShare icon in the top left box.

4. Then click on General Resources (the network zone that houses the server we want) in the bottom left box. You may need to scroll the list.

5. Click on zep, and then click OK.

6. At the next screen, logon as cmpcntr\username with your NT password. (If you don't have an NT account or don't know what it is, you may substitute cmpcntr\zep, password zep.)

7. At the final screen, click on Bantam and then click OK.

The Bantam icon will now appear on your desktop. This file server volume behaves much like a hard disk or floppy disk attached to you machine. Once the Bantam icon comes up, double click on it. You can also create an "alias" of Bantam at this point to make your access to it much quicker. See your Macintosh operating system manual. When you're finished using Bantam, just drag the Bantam icon to the Trashcan to disconnect yourself from the server.

...from a public computer

To use Bantam, you must first make it available to your Macintosh, or "mount" it.

...from a student-owned computer

The Student Network Installer must first be run in order to get aliases for Bantam and several other servers. The program on this disk will turn an out-of-the-box Macintosh into a customized Trinity computer, with a number of excellent network programs installed. You can call the Help Desk direct line at x2007 for more information.

If you haven't run the Student Network Installer (which you should do to be able to use all the resources the College provides!), you'll have to use the Chooser to mount Bantam. Follow the instructions below.

If you can't find the Bantam "alias" in the Network Servers folder, follow these steps to use the Finder to mount Bantam:

1. Click on the Go menu bar at the top, and select Connect to Server. The following window should pop up.

2. Next, select the General Resources server group on the right. Then, select the Zep server on the right hand side of the screen.

3. The following icon should appear. Then, click Connect.

4. Enter cmpcntr\username (our username) in the Name field and enter your password in the Password field. Then click Connect.

5. Select the bantam server. Then click OK in order to access the server.
