Windows 95 has built-in dial-up network support. Using Dial-Up Networking, you are able
to connect to remote servers and Internet providers. Through some easy steps, you can
connect to your local Internet provider or Remote Access Service (RAS).
The first step in setting up Dial-Up Networking is to make sure the service is installed. The
Dial-Up service is located in the
Accessories group and is not part of the default installation.
To check to see if it was installed, click Start , point to Programs and click Accessories .
If there is no group containing the title Dial-Up Networking, this means that it is not installed
on the system. If you have already installed Dial-Up Networking, skip to Configuring Dial-
Up Networking.
Installing Dial-Up Networking
To add dial-up networking, start by clicking Start , pointing to Settings and clicking
Control Panel . Then click Add/Remove Programs . Click the Windows Setup tab.
Next, select Communications and press Details .... The Communications screen
should appear. Check Dial-Up Networking , then click OK . Then click OK again. It
will now look for your Windows 95 CD-ROM or diskette. Place it in the machine and
click
OK (skip this step if the CD-ROM or diskette is already in the drive). Once the
files are done copying, and the shortcuts created, it will request that you shut down.
