What version of the Client should you install?
- For the the Common World On-Line server, download the latest version above. (v11.017)
- Apple Mac OS Lion does not work well with any previous versions of FirstClass Clients. (only v11.017)
- Client v10.014 is the only other working version for a FC 11 server, but with a loss of features. Running previous clients (v9.1, 9.0, 8.0...) can cause formatting issues in the body of a message. The latest servers have advanced html rendering and utilize UTF8 which older client version do not support. The current installer v11.006 has known issues that have effected some of my sites. (note - as of this post, FC Client 11.013 is beta, but i can send it to you)
- If you are on a really old Apple Computer OS9 can only run v8.102 (see above)
Once the FC Client is installed start up the application. The login screen should open up. Click on the 'Set up' into the 'Server' field. Then click save at the bottom of the window to save. (see screen shot below) After that you should be good to go. Type in your ID and PW in the log in screen and you should connect right in to the server and see the same desktop you have back at your desk. (subject to the speed of your connection to the internet).
