- You have indicated that you are installing this CompuServe software, onto a PC that is
- connected to a Local (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).
-
- Part of the CompuServe 3.x installation process on PC's using Windows 95 requires the
- installation or configuration of Microsoft Dial-Up Networking. This Windows 95 component
- provides TCP/IP (Winsock) connectivity for modem or ISDN connections.
-
- CompuServe 3.x requires a 32-bit Windows TCP/IP (Winsock) connection, such as
- Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, to connect to CompuServe.
-
- Installing or configuring Microsoft Dial-Up Networking on your PC, could potentially conflict
- with your existing LAN or WAN installation or configuration, especially if this currently
- supports TCP/IP connectivity.
-
- Before you proceed with the installation of CompuServe 3.x onto your PC, we strongly
- recommend that you contact your Internal Systems Department, Network Support
- Department or LAN Administrator, to confirm that the installation of CompuServe 3.x
- will not conflict or cause problems with the correct operation of your LAN or WAN.
-
- Failure to ensure compatibility may cause your existing LAN installation or
- configuration to stop working correctly, and potentially cause problems for other
- local users.
-
- If you are in any doubt that your PC can support connections with CompuServe 3.x, or
- concerned that the installation may cause problems, do not continue at this time.
-
- LOCAL AND WIDE AREA NETWORK CONNECTIONS :
-
- You may be able to use CompuServe 3.x to connect to CompuServe via your LAN, if this
- supports TCP/IP connectivity and also has full Internet Access via a suitable gateway
- connection.
-
- However, if this Internet Gateway has security restrictions, such as a Firewall, or uses a
- Proxy Server, you may not be able to connect to CompuServe.
-
- You should verify that your LAN can support such connections to CompuServe with your
- Internal Systems Department, Network Support Department or LAN Administrator
- before you proceed with installation.
-
