Please log in for more thread options How do I make my Win95 OSR2 system to work with DSL or any other high speed connection? This is an old laptop with a Netgear PCMCIA network card. Model number FA411. I installed the driver and it seems to work properly. But Internet Explorer doesn't recognize the DSL connection. Do I need 3rd party software to make this work? If it is, where can I download the software? The software must be FREE and ISP INDEPENDENT. Hendra | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Get a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41. Then the Router will make the PPPoE connection and will allow *any* TCP/IP compliant hardware to be connected to the LAN side of the Router. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Actually, I already have a router. I have another laptop with WinXP and it works perfectly. I just connect the cable to my ethernet card and WinXP automatically recognizes the connection. No need to type in user name, password or anything. But my older laptop doesn't recognize the connection. Hendra | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This page describes how to configure it for DHCP: http://www.lava.net/support/config/dsl/windows/dhcp/Win9x/ Once you have that or if you already have that all in place, then do a start>run>winipcfg and see if the router has given the card an IP. It
normally will be in the 192.168.x.x range.
I understand Win95 supports only up to IE5.5. Download that if you don't have it and use the internet connection wizard that comes with it to configure a LAN connection. IE5.5 can be downloaded here: http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/5.5_SP2 Consider an alternative browser, but you may have trouble finding a current version that is compatible with Win95. Perhaps other posters know of one. I don't believe the most current versions of Firefox or Mozilla will work in Win95. Opera might and is now free. Most machines that can run Win95 can run Win98 - so consider upgrading to that (or better yet, installing it clean) so you can run more recent software. Gary E -- |Gary A.

But my older laptop doesn't recognize the connection. You will have to correctly configure the MS-Win95 OSR2 networking. It shouldn't take userid/passwd because the router stores those. But you do need to enable the card and TCP/IP. -- Robert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
