Windows 95 Dialup Networking Setup

Windows 95 is very easy to configure for the E-List service. If you already have a provider, take a look through the existing settings for that connection, before begining the reconfiguration below. It is possible to have many 'Connections' preconfigured in your dialer, but if your multiple providers do not ALL assign you DNS servers when you login, you will have to list at least one DNS server. If this is the case, for optimal performance, please make sure your primary service's DNS servers are configured in your dialup networking.

Start by adding dialup Networking (if your PC has never been on the 'Net before.)

  • Click on 'My Computer'
  • Then Control Panel
  • Then Add/Remove Programs
  • Then on Windows Setup tab
  • Then on Communications
  • Then on details
  • Then on Dial-Up Networking
  • Insert Windows disks or CD-Rom as prompted
  • Reboot computer when prompted

 

Now Configure Dialup TCP/IP:

  1. Click on 'My Computer'
  2. Then on 'Control Panel'
  3. Then on 'Networking Icon' In the window you will see:
    • TCP/IP Protocol
    • Dial-Up Adapter
    • Client for Microsoft Networks
  4. Click on TCP/IP Protocol
    • Then on 'Properties' and set them as follows:
      • IP Address = Server Assigned
      • WINS Configuration = Disabled
      • Gateway = Blank (remove anything that is listed!)
      • DNS Configuration = Select Server Assigned DNS
      • Bindings - All items in this box should be checked
    • Click 'OK'
  5. If you don't see the above settings, start here, and repeat the steps above. --> Then Dial-Up Adapter
    • Bindings should have TCP/IP checked
  6. Click 'OK' - Reboot your PC, when prompted.


Now, your system settings:

  1. Click on 'Start'
  2. Then on 'Settings', select 'Control Panel'
  3. Then on 'Internet', select 'Connection'
  4. Then on 'Use a Modem' and 'Settings'
  5. Select 'Add' to add a new connection named E-List.net
    • Select your modem, and your local telephone access number
    • If you have call waiting, add '*70,' in front of the local number, then Click 'OK'
    • Enter your user ID and password Exactly as they appear in your setup information sheet.
  6. Dialup networking, and your internet connection are now configured. Click 'ok' to close this window. Select any application that uses the Internet, such as Internet Explorer, and your system will dialup and connect to the Internet. If you are always prompted for your password, this means that you did not click the 'Save Password' box when first configuring your connection. Unfortunately, the only remedy is to add a new connection starting at #5 above, and remember to check the box when it first appears.
