What You Need to Get Started:

   [INLINE]
   
   A PPP account from your Internet Provider, as well as the following
   information:
     * Your user name
     * Your password
     * 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
     * Their gateway IP address
     * Their DNS address
       
   Once you have this information, you're ready to proceed to step 1.

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: 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 3.
