How do I connect two Win95 computers together with dial-up networking?
You can start by reading the beginning of FAQ page of Network. This covers setting up two Win95 machines so they talk to each other. The only real difference is you use the Dial-up Adapter instead of a regular net card to connect the machines together with. To add the dial-up adapter, run Add/Remove Programs/Windows Setup, double-click on Communications, and turn on Dial-up Networking. Next, install MS Plus or DUN 1.3 on the machine that will answer the phone, and include Dial-up Server in the list of components. In FPS for MS networks properties, set this machine’s Browse Master setting to “Enabled” instead of “Automatic”. Once you finish this, turn on the dial-up server in Dial-up networking options. Specify a password if you want. Note that, if you use other Win95 apps to send faxes or to dial-out to other locations, you can leave the dial-up server turned on! Yes you can! Finally, on the machine dialing in, set its Browse Master preferences to “Disabled”.
