- =======================================================================
- Running Netscape
- =======================================================================
- What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?
-
- You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape.
- The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you
- can run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator:
- 1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
- SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
- 2. TCP/IP stack
- 3. Netscape Navigator software
-
- You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
- provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account
- from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).
-
- When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP
- stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.
-
-
- If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running
- Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking for the
- WINSOCK.DLL file that is part of a winsock package.
-
-
- =======================================================================
- International
- =======================================================================
- The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the
- latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit Windows.
- For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese
- versions are the internationalization of error strings. Occasionally,
- the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error message after
- installing Netscape. Currently, there are no Japanese versions
- available for the OLE2 DLLs. Netscape is working with Microsoft to
- make the Japanese version of the OLE2 DLLs available.
