Setting Up Windows95 for LAN Access to Sound Internet

Setting Up Windows 95 for
LAN Access to Sound Internet

You should read through these instructions thoroughly and print out a copy before you continue.
This installation procedure assumes that you have a basic working knowledge of Windows95 and MS-DOS commands.
You must consult with your LAN administrator before following these instructions. They will need to supply you with your designated IP address and gateway address.
It is always a good idea to make a backup of any important files on your system before installing software or making changes to your system.
This installation will require you to have your Windows95 Setup Disks or CD-ROM available. If Windows95 came pre-installed on your computer your computer manufacturer should have supplied you with disks.

If you are using software provided to you by Sound Internet for use with Windows 3.1x simply delete the directory tree C:\INET. To do this you may start an MS-DOS prompt and type:
```
deltree c:\inet
```
If you are using a third-party Internet software package. Please check with that software's documentation for instructions on how to un-install the software.
If you are currently running Windows 3.1x on your system and are upgrading to Windows95 please be sure to delete any copies of the WINSOCK.DLL file before you install Windows95.
If you have already installed Windows95 you should check to make sure that there is only one copy of WINSOCK.DLL on your hard drive. The file should be in your C:\WINDOWS directory and should be 42,080 bytes (42K) in size with a file date of July 11, 1995 9:50am.

If you have not already done so, install Windows 95.
After Windows95 installation be sure to keep your Windows95 disks handy as you will need them to install your Internet software
