Win95 InstaNet Install Procedures

First we will ensure network components are installed.

1.	Open ‘My Computer’	…then ‘Control Panel’	...then ‘Network’.

2.	‘Configuration’ tab - verify these 3 network components are installed:
	
	If all are there....go to step 5.

3.	Install any of the 3 network components which are missing in step 2.  You must have the Win95 CD or floppies to install these components.

	Client for Microsoft Networks:  From step 2, click the ‘Add...’ button, select ‘Client’, click the ‘Add...’ button.  In the ‘Select Network Client’  panel, select Manufacturer ‘Microsoft’, then Network Client ‘Client for Microsoft Networks’, then click on the ‘OK’ button.  At the ‘Select Device’ panel, select ‘Microsoft’, then ‘OK’. 

	Select the ‘Identification’ tab and enter whatever you want to name your computer in the ‘Computer name’ field.  Click ‘OK’.   This should also install the Dial-Up Adapter.

	Dial-Up Adapter:  From step 3, click the ‘Add...’ button, select ‘Adapter’, click the ‘Add...’ button.   In the ‘Select Network adapters’  panel, select Manufacturer ‘Microsoft’, then Network Adapter ‘Dial-Up Adapter’, then click on the ‘OK’ button.

4.	After any of the above installs, you will have to restart Win95.  After doing so, start the procedure over again at step 1.

Note: If after installing the ‘Client for Microsoft Networks’, you end up with ‘IPX/SPX - compatible Protocol’ or ‘Netbeui’ as installed network components, they can be deleted by selecting them and clicking on the ‘Remove’ button.
