Creating a Connection
To create a Dial-Up Networking connection, follow these steps:
- Double-click the My Computer icon and then double-click the Dial-Up Networking icon.
- Double-click Make New Connection.
Notes:
- If you have not created a connection previously, the Make New Connection Wizard starts automatically.
- If you have not installed a modem in Windows 95, the Install New Modem Wizard appears. Follow the instructions to install a modem.
- In the Type a name for the computer you are dialing
box, type a name for the connection. Verify that the correct modem is selected,
and then click Next.
- Type the area code and telephone number for the connection, select the
appropriate country code for the remote server you are dialing, and then click Next.
- Click Finish to add an icon for this connection to the Dial-Up Networking folder.
Configuring the Connection
To configure the new connection, follow these steps:
- Use the right mouse button to click the new connection, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- Click Server Type and configure the settings to match the remote server.
NOTE: It is usually best to leave the Advanced Options
settings alone. Change these settings only if you are having problems
connecting to the server.
- Select the network protocols in use on the server. TPC/IP checkbox must be checked.
- Click OK, and then click OK again.
