3. Our new PIX firewall will prompt you to enter your NSU User ID for your NT password. (Until you successfully enter your NT password, you will be unable to access OSAGE.)

5. Double-click the OSAGE icon on your desktop. (This icon is created when you install the files onto your computer.) If you get an off-line message, click the Try again button.
6. Next, you should see your standard logon to OSAGE, which will prompt you to enter your OSAGE password, (not normally the same as your NT password).
