Windows 95/98 VPN Connection Guide

Before Beginning:
• Have your Windows 95/98 installation CD available.
• Determine whether or not the VPN adapter is already installed on your system:
1) Go to your desktop, double-click My Computer, and then click Dial-up Networking.
2) Search the Device Name Column, if Microsoft VPN Adapter is listed, skip to Step C of this procedure.

IMPORTANT:
Recognize that, in all instances, a VPN connection is significantly slower than a typical connection, and your connection speed needs to be greater than a 56KB modem (DSL, IDSN, or cable modem). 56KB modems - or slower - are not recommended, as just the connect time could take up to 15 minutes.

Step A. Install the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.
2. Click the Configuration tab, and then click Add.
3. In the Select Network Component Type box, select Adapter, and then click Add.
4. Select Microsoft from the manufacturers column.

Close the Select Network Component Type box.
Restart your computer if prompted.(Not all users are prompted.)
You are returned to the main network Control Panel.
