SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR DIAL-UP NETWORKING 1.3
Performance and Security Upgrade
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows® 95 operating system. Recommended: Intel Pentium processor (or compatible), 90 MHz+, 16MB RAM, and a Windows compatible modem.
PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM
NOTE: During the installation process, you will be asked to restart your machine. For this reason, make sure you save your work and exit from all applications (except Internet Explorer) before beginning the installation process.
If you installed Windows 95 from a CD, you will need to have the Windows 95 CD ready before you begin the installation process.
DURING THE INSTALLATION
Setup will ask you to restart the machine twice. After each restart, the installer will rebuild your driver configuration twice: once for Dial-Up-Networking and once to enable virtual private networking. This is normal behavior.
Setup may notify you of a version conflict and ask if you want to keep an original newer file. If this happens, click Yes. (Always save the newer file)
UPDATING YOUR SERVER
- For the full benefit of this upgrade for PPTP connections you--or your administrator--must update the Windows NT Server "tunnel server" (i.e. the server which is the server providing access to the target network) as described on the Performance Upgrade web page we also recommend that you contact your network administrator or Internet service provider if you feel they are unaware of this upgrade.
UNINSTALLING DIAL-UP-NETWORKING 1.3
Always use the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the setup folder to add or delete Dial-Up Networking from your system. Do not add or remove individual Dial-Up Adapter or Virtual Private Networking Adapter components via the Network Control Panel applet or from the Device Manager tab of the System applet.
Important: An uninstall of the Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Update will completely remove Dial-Up Networking from your system, including any features that depend on it. This may also disable any applications dependent on DUN. For example, an uninstall of DUN would remove Direct Cable Connection and Virtual Private Networking in addition to the ability to dial out over modems or ISDN devices. If you have installed an ISDN device, removing Dial-Up Networking will logically remove the device and any information that you entered for it. This information will not be restored when you re-install Dial-Up Networking. For this reason, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with current configuration settings and dependencies to ensure a smooth reinstallation of these components.
Note: The Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade relies on features in the most recent version of the Microsoft TCP/IP stack. For that reason, installation of the upgrade will replace your current TCP/IP protocol stack (or add the stack if you do not already have it installed.) If you have applications that rely on a third party TCP/IP stack, you may want to discontinue this upgrade so you do not corrupt this configuration and/or temporarily disable a dependent application. If you choose to perform the upgrade, and certain applications stop working, you may have to reload and reconfigure these applications.
