The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are using a Dial-Up Networking connection using the SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) server type with an Internet service provider, Ping may function correctly, but other programs (such as a Web browser) may not.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if you select the wrong IP Header Compression setting.

RESOLUTION
Use these steps to change the IP Header Compression setting:


 * 1) Open the properties for the Dial-Up Networking connectoid.
 * 2) Click Server Type.
 * 3) Click TCP/IP Settings.
 * 4) Click the Use IP Header Compression check box.
 * 5) Click OK.

MORE INFORMATION
If you choose the wrong IP Header Compression setting, IP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) programs (such as Ping) may operate normally, but TCP-based programs will not work. The IP Header Compression setting must be changed.
