- USING THE INTERNET CONNECTION WIZARD
- ====================================
-
- Connecting to the Internet is quick and easy using the new Internet
- Connection Wizard. To start the wizard for the first time, double-
- click The Internet icon on your desktop. If you need to start the
- wizard again at a later time, click the Start menu, point to Accessories,
- point to Internet Tools, and then click Get On The Internet.
-
-
- INSTALLING PC CARD (PCMCIA) MODEMS
- ==================================
-
- If you are using a PC card (PCMCIA) modem for your Dial-up Networking
- connection to the Internet and have not yet installed the modem,
- you may have to enable Windows 95 PC card socket support before
- running the Internet Setup wizard.
-
- To enable PCMCIA socket support:
-
- 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
- Control Panel.
-
- 2. Double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon to start the PC Card
- Wizard, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- NOTE: If you can't find the PC Card icon, you may need to install
- the PC card (PCMCIA) drivers. To do this, double-click the
- Add New Hardware icon, click No, click PCMCIA Support from
- the list of hardware items, and then follow the instructions
- on your screen.
-
-
- USING A LOCAL AREA NETWORK PROXY OR FIREWALL
- ============================================
-
- If you want to access the Internet by using your local area network
- (LAN) through a proxy or firewall (typically used to protect your LAN
- from being accessed by others on the Internet), follow these
- steps:
-
- 1. Install the TCP/IP protocol on your computer by carrying out the
- following steps. This is the protocol your computer will use to
- connect to the Internet.
-
- 1. In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
- 2. Click Add, click Protocol, and then click Add.
- 3. In the Manufacturers area, click Microsoft.
- 4. In the Network Protocols area, click TCP/IP, and then click OK.
- 5. In the list of components, click your network adapter, and then
- click Properties.
- 6. Click the Bindings tab, and then select the check box next to
- TCP/IP.
-
- NOTE: Currently, the Internet Connection Wizard does not
- automatically install the TCP/IP protocol for LAN setups.
-
- 2. Run the Internet Connection Wizard.
-
- To run the wizard, double-click "Internet, setup wizard" in the
- Windows Help Index, and then select "Quick and easy way to connect
- to the Internet (Updated)."
-
- 3. Choose the Manual setup option, and then follow the instructions
- on your screen.
-
- 4. When you are prompted to specify "How to Connect," click Connect
- Using My Local Area Network.
-
- 5. When you are prompted to do so, make sure that you select the
- Use Proxy Server check box.
-
- 6. Type the http server address and the port number for the computer
- you want to use as the proxy server in the Proxy Server box. The
- following is an example of a proxy server address and port number:
-
- 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 want to bypass the proxy when accessing
- all local computers (computers on your LAN), type "<local>".
-
- 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 items, click the ? in the title bar, and then click the
- item.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- USING CITRIX WINFRAME(TM) CLIENT FOR INTERNET COMPUTING
- =======================================================
-
- WinFrame Client is now included in Windows 95. With the WinFrame
- client, you can run Windows programs over the Internet and Intranet.
- Because the WinFrame client is installed on your computer by default,
- you can run some sample Windows programs over the Internet from the
- Citrix Internet site at the following address:
-
- http://www.citrix.com/hotspot.htm
-
- To run these programs over the Internet, you need an Internet account
- that does not use a proxy.
