Free-Internet Windows 95/98 Connection Guide
A windows 95/98 PPP connection requires 3 main components: Dial-Up Networking,
Dial-up Adapter, and TCP/IP. These components should already be installed on all
systems with Windows 95/98. To verify the existence of these components on your
system make sure you have your windows 95/98 CD or diskettes ready.
Dial-Up Networking - Double-click
My Computer. If the Dial-Up Networking icon is not present, open the Control
Panel. Go through the following:
Add/Remove Programs >> Windows Setup >> Communications
Check the box next to Dial-Up Networking and click O.K. Close the Control
Panel.
- Dial-Up Adapter & TCP/IP - Open the Control Panel. Double-click the Network icon. The
minimum requirements are the Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP.
If neither are present, you will have
to add the components. You will need your windows 98 CD or diskettes ready.
Dial-Up Adapter: Click Add, and select Adapter and click Add. Under manufacturer in the left, select Microsoft and on
the right, select Dial-Up Adapter and click O.K.
- TCP/IP: Click Add,

If you had to install these components, you will
need to restart your computer for these settings to take effect. After restarting,
you will need to configure and create the Dial-Up Networking Connection.
