INSTALLING PC CARD (PCMCIA) MODEMS
==================================
If you are using a PC card (PCMCIA) modem for your Dial-up Networking
connection to the Internet and have not yet installed the modem,
you may have to enable Windows 95 PC card socket support before
running the Internet Setup wizard.
To enable PCMCIA socket support:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon to start the PC Card
Wizard, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
NOTE: If you can't find the PC Card icon, you may need to install
the PC card (PCMCIA) drivers. To do this, double-click the
Add New Hardware icon, click No, click PCMCIA Support from
the list of hardware items, and then follow the instructions
on your screen.
USING A LOCAL AREA NETWORK PROXY OR FIREWALL
============================================
If you want to use a proxy or firewall to protect your Local Area
Network from being accessed by other on the Internet, follow these
steps:
1. Run the Internet Setup Wizard.
You can run the wizard after by clicking the Start button,
pointing to Programs, then pointing to Accessories, then
pointing to Internet Tools, and then double-clicking
Internet Setup Wizard.
2. Configure your computer to connect to the Internet by using TCP/IP
on on your local area network.
3. When asked for the gateway address, type the address supplied by
your network administrator only if your organization uses gateways
for routing information over the network.
NOTE: The gateway computer is not the same as the proxy or firewall
computer which protects your local area network from the Internet,
so do not type your proxy or firewall address here.
4. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
5. Click the Internet icon, and then click the Connection tab.
6. In the "Proxy" portion of the tab, make sure the "Connect to the Internet
through a proxy server" box is checked.
7. Click the Change Proxy Settings button.
8. In the first textbox, type the HTTP server address for the computer
you want to use as the proxy server. In the second textbox, type the
port number. The following is an example of a proxy server and
port number:
http://myproxy.mycompany.com:80
In this example, you would type "http://myproxy.mycompany.com" in
the first textbox, and "80" in the second textbox.
You can use a different proxy for different types of addresses.
However, if you wish to use the same proxy for all types of addresses,
make sure the "Use same proxy server for all addresses" box is checked.
9. In the "Exceptions" portion of the dialog, click in the textbox and type
the names of the computers, domains, and ports on the Internet that,
when accessed, will not go through the proxy server. Separate each item
you type with a semicolon. (If you do not know what to type here,
see your network administrator.)
To not use the proxy for local addresses, make sure the "Do not use
proxy for local (intranet) addresses" box is checked. Local addresses
are defined as those where the server name does not have a period (".")
in it. For example, "http://internalweb/" is a local address;
"http://www.microsoft.com/" is not.
For Help on these items, click the ? in the title bar, and then click
the item.
10. When done, click OK to close the Proxy Settings dialog.
11. Click OK to close the Internet Control Panel. If you are running
Internet Explorer, you will need to restart before the new proxy settings
take effect.
USING PROGRESSIVE NETWORKS' REALAUDIO SUPPORT
=============================================
The Microsoft Internet Explorer includes support for Progressive Networks'
RealAudio. This enables you to listen to audio files in real time over
a dial-up modem or direct-network Internet connection. To use
RealAudio, you must have a Windows 95-supported sound card installed
in your computer. RealAudio works best on 486/33 or faster processors.
To try RealAudio, connect to http://www.realaudio.com.
NOTE: RealAudio will not work if your connection is routed through
a local area network proxy or firewall.
USING INTERNET EXPLORER WITH VIRTUAL MEMORY
===========================================
Internet Explorer requires you to use virtual memory. Otherwise,
Internet Explorer will not run properly. To make sure you are using
virtual memory:
1. Click the Start button, then point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon, and then click the Performance tab.
3. Click the Virtual Memory button.
4. If you are specifying your own virtual memory settings, make
sure the Disable Virtual Memory box is unchecked. If this box
is checked, then you are not using virtual memory and Internet
Explorer won't run.
TIP: You can let Windows manage virtual memory for you by
selecting the Let Windows Manage My Virtual Memory
Settings option.
USING INTERNET EXPLORER 2.0 ALONG WITH 3.0
==========================================
When you install Internet Explorer 3.0, Internet Explorer 2.0 is
automatically renamed and left in place. Therefore, you can continue
to use Internet Explorer 2.0 alongside 3.0.
To use Internet Explorer 2.0, open the folder where you have installed
Internet Explorer 3.0 (usually in C:\Program Files) and double-click the
"Ie20" or "Ie20.EXE" icon. For quicker access to Internet Explorer 2.0,
you may want to drag this icon to your desktop or Start Menu button.
NOTE FOR PROXY USERS: At this time, Internet Explorer 2.0 and 3.0 use the
same proxy settings in the registry. This can cause problems if you are
using separate proxies for different protocols. To change your registry
settings so that IE 2.0 can use the proxy, do the following:
1. Open the Internet Control Panel by opening the Start Menu, pointing at
Settings, clicking Control Panels, and double-clicking the Internet icon.
2. Select "Connection" from the rows of tabs at the top.
3. Click the "Change Proxy Settings" button.
4. Make sure the "Use same proxy server for all types of addresses"
checkbox is checked.
5. Press OK to close the Proxy Settings dialog.
6. Press OK to close the Options dialog.
REVERTING TO INTERNET EXPLORER 2.0
==================================
If you wish to remove Internet Explorer 3.0 and return to using Internet
Explorer 2.0, you currently need to uninstall IE 3.0 and then reinstall IE 2.0.
Instructions:
1. Go to the Internet Explorer home page by opening http://www.microsoft.com
in your browser, clicking the "Microsoft Internet Explorer Free Download"
graphic on the left side of the page.
2. Locate the correct link for downloading IE 2.0. Right-click it and
choose Save Target As.
3. Choose a filename. NOTE: If you are using IE 3.0, you will need to include
the .EXE extension, e.g.: "msie20.exe".
4. Click Save to save the file.
5. Open the Start Menu, point at Settings, click Control Panel, and
double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Uninstall Internet Explorer 3.0
by choosing it from the list and clicking Add/Remove.
6. Close the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
7. Locate where you saved Internet Explorer 2.0 in steps 3-4, and double-click
on the icon to reinstall Internet Explorer 2.0.
