Since Internet Service Providers only support the TCP/IP protocol, we suggest removing the NetBEUI
and IPX/SPX protocols so that Dial-Up Networking cannot un-intentionally bind to them.
To change your Win95 settings to be compatible with Internet Service providers, make certain the
NetBEUI and IPX/SPX protocols from the Control Panel folder - Network section have been removed.
We also suggest the additional step of removing the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol, even though it will
be added again later.
Once the protocols have been removed, restart Win95 and follow our instructions for configuring
Win95 to connect. When configuration is complete open the "Dial-Up Networking" window, right click
on the connection icon then select "Properties". In the properties configuration window that appears
click the "Server Type" button and make certain that the "Log on to network", "NetBEUI" and "IPX/SPX
Compatible" boxes are NOT checked.
If the "Dial up networking could not negotiate a compatible set of network protocols you specified
in the server type setting" error continues to appear, examine your modem type setting in the modems
icon of the control panel. The error may occur if Windows 95 was unable to correctly identify
your modem brand and model or it was otherwise set incorrectly.
We suggest contacting the manufacturer of the modem for advice on how best to configure Win95 and
the modem to interoperate. If unable to contact the manufacturer or you don't know who the manufacturer
of the modem is, we have had good luck with just setting the modem type to be one of the appropriate
"(Standard Modem Types)" choices in the modems icon of the control panel.
Why can't I connect at V.90 speeds?
Even though all our locations support V.90, this does not guarantee that you will get V.90 speeds.
Connection speeds are dependent on many things including: 1) Phone line quality. check your phone line to see if it qualifies for V.90 speeds at:
http://www.usr.com/products/line-test.asp.
2) Modem compatibility. The better the modem the better chance that your equipment and the ISP's
will connect reliably and without failures. Windows LT modems are known for their problems and
are the least expensive modem on the market.
3) Modem Firmware. DO you have an X2 modem made by US-Robotics. Well, try upgrading it to V.90,
this should be the fix.
4) Operating system. Yes this does matter. If you have windows 95, you will want to upgrade your
DUN to 1.3 off the microsoft website.
Those are just a few things that determine your connection speed, others include: distance of
the POP that you are dialing into, computer hardware (old 386's, ahhhh!),
modem drivers (update them!!), etc.
