Installing Dial-Up Networking

When you install Dial-Up Networking, you are installing all the components you need to connect to a network. For example, installing Dial-Up Networking also installs the Microsoft Dial-Up adapter, and connection and network protocols.

Before you dial up a remote connection using a modem and Dial-Up Networking, you need to make sure all the appropriate network protocols are bound to the Microsoft Dial-Up adapter or a network adapter. The easiest way to install Dial-Up Networking is during installation of Windows 95. If you didn't choose it during Setup, you can install it afterward.

Note

If you are currently using Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with RAS, Dial-Up Networking will automatically be installed when you upgrade to Windows 95.

To install Dial-Up Networking after you run Setup

1. In the Add/Remove Programs Option in Control Panel, click the Windows Setup tab.
2. In the Components list, click Communications, and then click the Details button.
3. In the Communications dialog box, click Dial-Up Networking, and then click OK.

After it is installed a folder for Dial-Up Networking appears in My Computer. To run Dial-Up Networking, double-click the folder.
