Internet on Win95
by SheldonCooper » Mon 07 Feb, 2011 3:29 pm
I've been using Windows 95 on my Vista via Virtual PC and. While it does work quite well, I cannot seem to connect to the internet. Browsing through this forum, I have found somebody who claimed to get internet running on Windows 95 (hello-again-windows-95-t12939s15.php), but they didn't specify how they did so. Can anybody help me with this?

Have you checked with your Internet Service Provider? I have Cox, and they say that as long as I can connect to the Internet, any OS will work.

I know it is possible to do this because I have done it... What Service do you have ? The problem is with Windows 95 is the network , You might need a third party software to get it to work...

I had a similar problem several years ago, with Windows 95 on Virtual PC for Mac. You might
find the Microsoft TCP/IP networking component is not installed. Without that, Windows 95
stays isolated from the internet. IIRC, Microsoft TCP/IP is not installed by default on some
versions of Windows 95, particularly the RTM version, but not Win95 OSR2.
Try this ...
Click Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network -
Add - Protocol - Add - Microsoft - TCP/IP - OK
You might be asked to insert the Windows 95 CD, so make you either have the physical disk
already placed in your optical drive, or a CD image file (ISO) of Windows 95 mounted in
the virtual machine in Settings, before you click through the above options.
