Microsoft Windows 95 Setup

Installing Dial-Up Networking (32-bit Access)

NOTE: For users who prefer to use MS Internet Explorer (Companion for MS Windows95), Internet Setup Wizard can be run after Dial-Up Networking has been installed.

Step 1: Install Dial-Up Networking

When one has a typical installation of Windows 95, it does not have something that is essential to run an internet connection: Dial-Up Networking. We will now install it.

Double Click My Computer =>Control Panel and double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. At the top of the screen you should see three tabs. Click the Windows Setup tab. This will show you the components of Windows95 that are installed on your system. Each of these components have sections, double-click on the word Communications. Then click on the Dial-Up Networking box and click OK twice. After Windows 95 prompts your for the CD-ROM (or disk), it will s can your files and install the needed components. You are now ready to proceed with step 2.



Step 2: Install Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP Protocol


Click My Computer => Control Panel and double-click the Network icon. You'll see a dialog box. Make sure the Configuration tab is selected. Both Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP should be present. If they are you ca n (To compare TCP/IP settings select TCP/IP and click on properties.

  • To install Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP follow the steps below.
Click Add => Adapter => OK then scroll down the list until you can select Microsoft on the left and Dial-Up Adapter on the right side then click on OK. To install TCP/IP, click Add => Protocol => OK then select Microsoft on the left side and TCP/IP on the right, then click on OK once more. Now your Network dialog box should contain both Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP. When you're all done setting these options, click on OK. Then press the OK button in the network window. Windows95 will ask you to reboot, press yes. When Windows 95 restarts it might prompt you for a username and password (unless this is normal) fill in only a username and not a password. You're now ready to proceed to step 3.




Step 3: Setting up the Connection Icon

Open up My Computer from the desktop and double-click the Dial-Up Networking icon.




Double-click the Make New Connection icon.




This will walk you through the Make New Connection wizard. If what comes up looking different it most likely means you have just installed the Dial-Up Networking and automatically enters you into the New Connection program. At this point just follow the prompts and refer to the information you have been given to set it up. If you need to edit the connection just highlight the icon with the mouse, then select the file menu and select properties.

Type in "PYROnet" or whatever you want to call the icon you're about to create to connect you to your provider (the title won't affect the type of connection). Your modem (which should have been configured when you installed Win95) should be shown in the Select a modem area.


Press the Configure button.

In the General section. If you have a 14.4K modem, for example, make the maximum speed 19200. For a 28.8K modem set it to 38400. DO NOT, however, select Only connect at this speed. This will let your modem adjust as the connection needs.


Click the Next button in the Make New Connection wizard. Enter in the phone number of your access provider. You don't need to put in an area code if it's a local call. You may want to put in *70, (with the comma) if you have Call Waiting. This will dis able it for this call only (only do this if you have the tone block service from your phone company which allows you to disable call waiting.) Now select OK, then press the Finish button and your icon will be created.



The next step is to enter the DNS numbers. Click on the icon just made to highlight it, then select the file menu and click properties. Under Connect using: click on Server Types.. which brings up a new dialog box. In Server Types remove all checks ex cept for Enable Software compression and TCP/IP.






The finale step is to click on the TCP/IP Settings button and insert enter the Primary and Secondary DNS numbers. (Primary DNS 207.7.10.2, Secondary DNS 207.7.10.3) Leave all other settings as is.






Once done click on OK 3 times to return to Dial-Up Networking.





Step 4: Connecting Using Windows 95


Note: Before attempting to connect please check Common problems with using Windows95 Dial-Up Networking


To connect using Windows 95 click on the Dial-Up Networking icon which is either on your desktop or listed within the My Computer Icon. Once it is open select the icon you created for your internet connection in STEP 3. Once it is open select Connect. I t will now dial. Once it states 'connected' and comes up with a timer you are online.





Now all you need to do is start Netscape or any internet program you would like to use.
