Microsoft released several different versions of Windows 95, so the screens that you see
when going through the Internet Connection Wizard may vary. They might be in a different order,
and some of the questions may be worded differently, but the information is the same. If,
after you have gone through this process, you still can't connect you may want to look at
the instructions for checking your settings, or just give
us a call.
- To start, double-click on the The Internet icon on your Win95 Desktop, or go to
your Start menu, go to Programs, Accessories, click on Internet
Tools, and finally, the Internet Setup Wizard. This has been distributed as Get
on the Internet on some versions, as well.
- The screen you see next depends on what's already been configured on your system. This
help file assumes that nothing has been installed or configured and lists every possible
screen, in order of appearance. If your system skips a screen, don't worry -- that just
means that the feature has already been set up on your system.
