SUMMARY
The Home Networking Wizard Setup disk runs on any version of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium Edition (Me), provided that a network card is installed correctly in the computer.

When a client disk is created from the Home Networking Wizard, the following files are copied to a formatted 1.4 MB floppy disk:


 * Setup.exe: An executable file.
 * Icsapi32.dll: An application programming interface (API) set for ICS, including IsICSAvailable function call that represents the specific API responsible for determining whether a functioning ICS server is available.
 * Icsrmt.dll: Provides remote ICS APIs.
 * Nconn16.dll: Calls 16-bit code such as SetupX to assist installing Networking components.
 * Nconn32.dll: provides for the network adapter detection.



MORE INFORMATION
The Home Networking Wizard installs the following components:


 * Client for Microsoft Networks.
 * TCP/IP
 * File and Printer Sharing (if the share resources option is selected).

The TCP/IP settings default to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) unless static settings have been set. If static settings are present, the static settings are left untouched. The Home Networking Wizard also toggles the Internet Explorer browser setting to Dial whenever a network connection is not present.
