Setting up the Windows 95 PPP Dialer
Using the Microsoft Internet Setup Wizard
- Purchase the Microsoft Plus Pack for the simplest, most straightforward solution.
(The "Plus Pack" is available on the street for about $40.00, and contains the Internet Setup
Wizard, the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web Bowser and many other useful utilities.)
- Or,
Download Version 2.0
of the M/S Explorer Web Browser from the Microsoft Web Site. (Includes the Setup Wizard!)
- Click on the links below to see an actual shot of the setup screen you will
be filling out.

Install the Plus Pack
- If you don't want or need all of the included utilities, simply do a "custom" install and install only the Internet Tools.
This will give you the simplest method of setting up the integrated Windows 95 PPP Dialer,
a copy of the MicroSoft "Explorer" web browser and MicroSoft "Exchange".
- Or, if you have downloaded the M/S Internet Explorer Ver 2.0, execute the
compressed file in an empty subdirectory, (by double clicking on it).
Launch the Internet Setup Wizard
- In the Start Menu, choose Programs, Accessories, Internet Tools, and the
Internet Setup Wizard.
- Select
Connect by Phone and follow the prompts to
allow Windows 95 to set up your
modem.
(Be sure that it is connected and switched on so that Windows 95 can find it!
Click Finish.
Configure Your Connection to UltraNet
- Specify that you
Already Have an Account with a different service provider.
Click Next.
- Follow the prompts and make your choice on installing M/S Exchange.
(I have heard mixed reviews on this... stay with Eudora if you are not sure.)
Click Next.
- Fill in the
Service Provider Information and the access
Phone Number you will be dialing.
Leave the box that specifies whether or not to bring up a terminal window blank.
Click Next.
- Fill in your UltraNet
username and password. These are both case sensitive.
Click Next.
- In the
IP dialog box, select, My Service Provider Automatically Assigns Me One.
Click Next.
- In the
DNS Server dialog box, add the IP addresses 199.232.56.7
(primary), and 199.232.56.2 (secondary) as shown.
Click Next.
- In the Internet Mail dialog box, if you have chosen to use M/S Exchange for Internet Mail, enter your e-mail address and the name of the UltraNet mail server, "mail.ultranet.com" (no quotes).
Click Next.
- When finished, shut down and restart Windows 95. (Even if you aren't prompted to do so.)
Finished!!!
- Go to My Computer" open the Dialup Networking folder, and right drag the UltraNet Icon onto your desktop to create a shortcut for dialing in.
