What You Need to Get Started:

   A SLIP account from your Internet Provider, as well as the following
   information:
     * Your user name

     * Whether you have a static (dedicated) or a dynamic (variable) IP
       address (you probably have a dynamic one)
     * Their local access telephone number
     * Your host name (usually your username)
     * Their domain name
     * Their IP subnet mask

Step 1: Verify that Dial-up Networking is Installed

   [INLINE]
   
   Press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control Panel.
   Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select the Windows Setup
   tab, then click on the Communications option and press Details....
   Make sure that the Dial-up Networking option is selected. If it is, go
   on to step 2. If it isn't, select it and click OK. Windows 95 will
   attempt to install the needed drivers, so make sure you've got your
   installation disks or CD handy! Now that Dial-up Networking is
   installed, you can proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Verify that the Dial-up Adapter and TCP/IP Protocol are Installed

   [INLINE]
   
   Press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control Panel.
   Double-click the Network icon. You'll see a dialog box like this. Make
   sure the Configuration tab is selected. Both Dial-Up Adapter and
   TCP/IP should be present (like in the picture), then you're ready to
   proceed to step 3.
   
   To add the Dial-Up Adapter, hit the Add... button, double-click
   Adapter, then scroll down the list until you can select Microsoft.
   Choose the Dial-Up Adapter and hit OK.
   
   If you need to install TCP/IP, hit the Add... button, double-click
   Protocol, then select Microsoft, then TCP/IP, and hit OK.
   
   Now your Network dialog box should contain both Dial-Up Adapter and
   TCP/IP. Select the adapter, click Properties..., Bindings, and make
   sure the TCP/IP box is checked. You're now ready to proceed to step 3.

Step 3: Verify that the SLIP drivers are Installed

   [INLINE]
   
   Press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control Panel.
   Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select the
   Install/Uninstall tab, then check to make sure that the SLIP and
   Scripting for Dial-Up Networking is included in the list. If it is,
   then the drivers are installed and you may proceed to step 4.
   
   If SLIP and Scripting is not present, make sure the Windows 95 CD is
   in your CD-ROM drive (if you do not have the CD version of Windows 95,
   click here to download the drivers now). Go to the Control Panel and
   double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. You should get a dialog box
   like this.
   
   Select the Windows Setup tab up top. Then press the Have Disk...
   button (the one with the cursor over it in the picture). You should
   get the Install From Disk dialog box that looks like this.
   
   Assuming your CD-ROM drive is E:, type the path
   e:\admin\apptools\dscript in the Copy manufacturer's files from: text
   area. Press OK and you should get the Have Disk dialog box. It looks
   like this.
   
   Check the SLIP and Scripting for Dial-Up Networking box, as shown in
   the picture. Press Install and Windows 95 will copy the files to the
   right place on your hard drive.
   
   Note:When you install the SLIP drivers, Windows 95 also installs the
   Dial-up scripting tools.

Step 4: Determine How Your Internet Provider Handles IP Addressing

   [INLINE]
   
  Is your PC's IP address static (stays the same every time) or dynamic
  (changes each time you log on)?
  
          Tutorial continues when you choose an option in Step 4.
