System Setup for Windows 95 II. Advanced Settings for Windows 3.1 -------------------------------------------------- I. System Setup for Windows 95 Windows 95 needs to be setup in the correct order to function properly. If Dial-up Networking is installed before the Dial-up Adapter, a corrupt Dial-up Adapter installation can sometimes arise. Use the following steps to correctly configure the Windows 95 communication functions. -------------------------------------------------- N.B. If your computer is connected to any other internal or external networks please consult your system administrator before proceeding. -------------------------------------------------- Step 1: Please ensure that your modem is installed and configured within Control Panel and that you have your Windows 95 set-up disks or CD-Rom for this proceedure. Step 2: The Dial-up Adapter must be installed. Click on Start-Settings-Control Panel. Double-click Network. If Dial-up Adapter is visible in the window, click it once, then click Remove. If Dial-up adapter is not visible proceed to step 3. Step 3: Click Add. Select Adapter and click Add. From the list of Manufacturers select: Microsoft and under Network Adapters: select Dial-up Adapter. Click OK. Step 4: Click Add. Select Protocol and click Add. From the list of Manufacturers select Microsoft and from the list of Network Protocols: select TCP/IP. Click OK. Step 5: Highlight the Dial-up Adapter, then click on Properties. Select the Bindings tab. Ensure that TCP/IP is ticked. If not, enable it by clicking the check box. If there are any other entries in this window with ticks against them, disable them by clicking the check box to remove the tick. Only TCP/IP should have a tick against it. Click OK. Step 6: Select the Identification tab. Ensure the word 'Default' is within the entry for Computer name, and the word 'WORKGROUP' is within the entry for Workgroup. Click OK. You may be prompted for your Windows 95 disks or CD-Rom. Select Yes to restart the computer. Step 7: If Windows 95 prompts for a User Name and Password during the reboot process; Enter the word 'global' in the entry for User Name but leave the Password entry EMPTY. Click OK. Again, leave both entries for confirmation of Password EMPTY. Click OK. If no prompts appear proceed to step 8. (The above step will ensure you are not prompted for a password in future.) Step 8: Once the computer has rebooted, Dial-up Networking must be installed. Click on Start-Settings-Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. Click on the Windows Setup tab. Select Communication and click Details. Step 9: If Dial-up Networking is not ticked, tick it and click OK. Click OK again to install it. If required, Click OK on the pop-up box and select Yes to restart the computer.
