- Q. What can I do to fix the sporadic network problems I am
experiencing?
A. There may be a problem between the network adapter and the
protected-mode driver. Use the following four steps to test the
real-mode driver:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon.
3. On the Configuration tab, click the network adapter, and
then click Properties.
4. On the Driver Type tab, click the "Real mode (16-bit) NDIS
driver" option.
If you continue to have problems, use Device Manager to change
the IRQ, I/O address, and RAM address settings for the network
adapter.
- Q. Why can't I see another Windows 95-based computer on the
network?
A. In order to connect to another Windows 95-based computer, that
computer must have the "File and printer sharing for Microsoft
Networks" network component installed.
- Q. How do I connect to an IBM(R) LAN Server computer?
A. To connect to an IBM LAN Server computer, you must have the
Microsoft Client For Microsoft Networks network component
installed.
- Q. Each time I log in I am asked for a password. Is there a way to
prevent this?
A. If you do not want to be prompted for a password, set your
primary network logon to Windows Logon. To do so, use the
following six steps:
1. Use the right mouse button to click Network Neighborhood,
and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
2. On the Configuration tab, click Windows Logon in the Primary
Network Logon box, then click OK.
3. When Windows prompts you to restart your computer, click No.
4. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.

Password button, click OK, then set a blank password.
- Q. Why can't I see a Windows for Workgroups 3.11-based computer on
the network when I use the IPX/SPX network protocol as my only
network protocol?
A. The Windows for Workgroups-based computer uses a frame type of
802.3. You must change the frame type of the IPX/SPX network
protocol on your computer to match. To do so, use the following
three steps:
1. Use the right mouse button to click Network Neighborhood,
and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
2. On the Configuration tab, click the IPX/SPX-compatible
network protocol, and then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click Frame Type in the Property box,
and then click the appropriate frame type in the Value box.
- Q. The TCP/IP network protocol doesn't work with Novell(R) ODI
drivers. What can I do?
A. Make sure that the Ethernet_II frame type is listed in the
Net.cfg file. For additional information, please see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

- Q. Is WinPopUp installed in Windows 95?
A. Yes, if you install either the Microsoft Client for Microsoft
Networks or the Microsoft Client for NetWare(R) Networks
component, WinPopUp (Winpopup.exe) is installed in the Windows
folder.
- Q. How do I run NetDDE programs (such as Microsoft Chat) in
Windows 95?
A. To run NetDDE programs in Windows 95, you must add a shortcut
for Netdde.exe to the Startup group. To do so, use the
following four steps:
1. Use the right mouse button to click an empty space on the
taskbar, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
2. On the Start Menu Programs tab, click Add.
