In the "User name" field you enter your Clarinet username followed by the realm "@clari.net.au" (username@clari.net.au). If your username is "johnpublic" then you would put "johnpublic@clari.net.au" in the "User name" field. Enter your password in the "Password" field and once again in the "Confirm password" field.

  9. The next screen is the last screen of the New Connection Wizard. You may check the Add a short-cut to my desktop box if you like. We do recommend this as it is easier to find on the desktop than in the Network Connections folder. Click the Finish button to finish and exit the wizard (Figure 12).
