SUMMARY
By default, on installation, the client installation disk for Small Business Server (SBS) removes the Dial-Up Networking (DUN) component from Windows 95 and Windows 98 clients. If a client wants to use a local modem or modem-sharing to connect to an ISP for local use, dial-up networking will have to reinstalled.



Windows 95 and Windows 98
Determine if dial-up networking is installed:


 * 1) Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click the Windows Setup tab, click Communications, and then click Details.
 * 4) Click to select the Dial-Up Networking check box, click OK, and then click OK in the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box.
 * 5) You may then be prompted to insert your Windows 95/98 CD or enter a location for your source files.
 * 6) After locating the appropriate files, you may be prompted to restart your computer. Do so at this time.
 * 7) If you are NOT prompted to restart your computer, it is suggested you do so anyway.

Install Local Modem
To install and use a local modem on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 computer, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

142984 How to Install New Hardware in Windows

Install Remote Modem
To install a modem that is shared on the Small Business Server computer:


 * 1) Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Modems.
 * 3) If no modem is currently installed, you will see the Install New Modem Wizard; allow the wizard to detect the modem.

-or-

If another modem is already installed you will see the Modem Properties dialog box. Click Add, and then allow the wizard to detect modem.

You can now configure dial-up networking to use a local modem (if installed) or the shared modem from the server.

Special Considerations
If you intend to use dial-up networking on a SBS client computer to connect to another IP network, you will need to disable the WinSock Proxy Client in Control Panel and then restart the computer before making a DUN connection to be able to send and receive information properly.
