Step 1: Installing the Windows 95 Dial-Up Adapter

Before you set up the Windows 95 Dial-Up Adapter, you need to have the following installed:

Network Neighbourhood;
Client for Microsoft Networks;
Dial-Up Adapter; and
TCP/IP.

To install the programs you need, double click on:

My Computer Control Panel

This Network window will open:
If the Network Components Installed window is blank, or if you do not have all the required components (see list above), you will need to install them.
Click on Add.
Network Configuration

To install the Client for Microsoft Networks, select Client and click on Add.
Network Component
Type (Client)

Select Microsoft and Client for Microsoft Networks as shown here:
Click on OK to close this window.
You may be asked for your CD or installation disks, so have them on hand.
Select Network Client

Next, install your Adapter if it's not already installed by selecting Adapter and clicking on Add. Select Network Component Type (Adapter)

Install your adapter (if necessary), by selecting Microsoft, then Dial-Up Adapter as shown here:
Click on OK to close this window and return to the Network Component selector.
Select Network Adapters

The next step is to install the Protocol.
Select Protocol and Add.
Select Network Component (Protocol)

Select Microsoft, TCP/IP and click on OK.
Click on OK to close this window and return to the Network Component selector.
Select Network Protocol

The next step is to remove any protocols or adapters that are not necessary. You should be able to quite safely remove the NetBEUI and IPX/SPX protocols unless you know you need them for something else, and they were there before we installed the Microsoft Client.
To remove any unwanted entries, highlight them and click on Remove.
You should be left with Client for Microsoft Networks, Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP (plus any network adapters or protocols that were there originally and are necessary for the operation of your computer and/or network).

Network Control Panel

Now, we need to configure the various components we have just installed.

Step 2: Configuring the Windows 95 Dial-Up Adapter

The components just installed (Client for Microsoft Networks, Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP) need to be configured properly to work.

Installing Scripting

Scripting automates the login process for you, automatically entering your username and password.

Early versions of Windows 95 did not include scripting support as part of the base installation. If you are running one of these versions, you will need to install support for scripting.

First, you need to install the Albury Local Internet script on your computer. Insert Disk 1 of the installation diskettes in your computer's floppy drive, then click Start, Run, and type in the box:

a:\script

And press Enter. The script will be copied to your computer. Close the window as indicated.

'Finished' window

To check if you need to install Dial-Up Scripting Support:

Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. The version of Windows you are running is found under the System section. If the version of Windows 95 you are running is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950A, you will need to install scripting support. If you are running a later version (eg 4.00.950B, 4.00.950C or Windows 98), scripting support is already available and you can skip to the next step. Otherwise, read on...

Installing and Configuring Scripting for Early Versions of Windows

If you originally received your copy of Windows 95 on CD, you can install the scripting tool from that disc. However, this version of the software is often not stable, and will crash frequently. Microsoft have released an updated version: Albury Local Internet STRONGLY recommend you use this version. This version is far more stable, and easier to install.

Click here to obtain the scripting tool. You will be prompted to save the file to disk; save the file in C:\Program Files\Accessories.

Save As dialog

Click Start, Programs, Windows Explorer. Select the Program Files folder, then the Accessories folder underneath it. On the right hand side of the Explorer window, you will find the script.exe file (it may be simply called 'script'). Double click it. When installation is finished, you will see a window telling you installation is complete.

Now, start the scripting tool. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, Dial-Up Scripting Tool. The following window appears:
Make sure Albury Local Internet is highlighted on the left hand side. Type in the path to the script as shown, click Apply, then Close. Skip to the end.

Step 3: Using the Windows 95 Dial-Up Adapter

Make sure your modem is plugged in correctly and turned on.
Double click on the Albury Local Internet icon you have created:

Either go to My Computer, Dial-Up Networking and Albury Local Internet... DUN

This window will appear:
Type in your username and password in the appropriate boxes. Make sure there is a tick in the Save password box.Click on Connect and your modem should start dialling.
Connect To... box
Connecting To...

Windows 95 will then display two windows, verifying your username and password, and a confirmation of your connect speed and duration.
Leave the dialler running. You may minimise it if you wish by pressing on the box with the "-" in the top right of the window.
You can now run your internet application programs - your browser, email etc.
Verifying...
Connected at 28800bps

When you wish to conclude your on-line session, maximise the Dialler window if necessary (double click on it in your bottom status bar) and click on Disconnect.
