Updating TCP/IP, Network Adapters, and Drivers
Site Manager Version 6.10 for Windows 95 requires the Microsoft TCP/IP
protocol stack provided with Windows 95 and a compatible network adapter and
driver.
If you purchased a PC with Windows 95 and a network adapter installed, most
likely you have the correct TCP/IP protocol stack, network adapter, and driver.
Go to “
Testing TCP/IP” on page 8-3.
If you need to upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, first uninstall any
existing 16-bit TCP/IP stack, such as Distinct TCP/IP Run Time. Otherwise,
Windows 95 will install that stack instead of the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack.
If you already upgraded from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 and the upgrade kept
an existing 16-bit TCP/IP stack, such as Distinct TCP/IP Run Time, you must
uninstall the 16-bit TCP/IP stack before adding the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol
stack.
To uninstall a 16-bit TCP/IP stack, refer to the TCP/IP provider’s documentation
and support for help in removing the stack’s path statements, services file, and
WINSOCK.DLL files dated prior to July 11, 1995 (the date of the
WINSOCK.DLL file installed by Windows 95).
To add or update a protocol, network adapter, or driver, refer to the appropriate
documentation and support from Microsoft and the adapter manufacturer.
Protocol and driver updates are added from the Network option of the Control
Panel. New network adapters and their drivers are added from the Add New
Hardware option of the Control Panel.
Windows 95 attempts to match a driver to the network adapter installed on your
PC. If Windows 95 cannot match a compatible driver, you need to update the
driver. Contact the adapter manufacturer for the latest drivers. Microsoft and other
Windows 95 Web sites may also have updated drivers.
Refer to Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit for additional technical information
about these issues. A hard copy is available from Microsoft Press.
