Check Dial-up Networking

• When you are back in Windows 95 after restarting, click on Start, then on Programs, then on Accessories, and then on Dial-up Networking.

  

• If Dial-up Networking is NOT in the Accessories list, you will have to install it before proceeding. To do so, follow these 7 steps. Otherwise, skip them.

   

  1. Click on the Start button, then on Settings, and then on Control Panel.

     

  2. Click on Add/Remove Programs, then click on the Windows Setup tab (the middle of the three tabs towards the top of the screen).

     

  3. Make sure that the box in front of Communications is checked. If it is not, click on the box to make the check mark appear.

     

  4. Then click on OK and the communications software will be installed. You will have to insert your Windows 95 CD or floppy disks.
  5. If the box WAS already checked, single click on Communications to select it and then click on the Details button. Make sure there is a check in front of Dial-up Networking. Then choose OK on the Communications window, and then OK on the Add/Remove Programs window.

     

  6. If both of those were checked, but Dial-up Networking still does not appear under Accessories, you should call Microsoft Support for assistance.
  7. Now click on Start, then on Programs, then on Accessories, and then on Dial-up Networking.
