- INSTALLING PC CARD (PCMCIA) MODEMS
- ==================================
-
- If you are using a PC card (PCMCIA) modem for your Dial-up Networking

- Control Panel.

- 2. Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon to start the PC Card
- Wizard, and then follow the instructions on your screen.

- Add New Hardware icon, click No, click PCMCIA Support from
- the list of hardware items, and then follow the instructions
- on your screen.

- ============================================
-

- Network from being accessed by other on the Internet, follow these
- steps:

-
- 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,

- Panel.
-
- 3. Click the Internet icon, and then click the Advanced tab.

- http://myproxy.mycompany.com:80
-
- In the Bypass Proxy On box, 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 comma.
-
- If you do not know what to type in the Proxy Server, or Bypass
- Proxy On boxes, see your network administrator. For Help on these

- 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.
