A Windows 95 user recently acquired a modem for her ThinkPad and asked us to configure it for her. Normally, if DUN isn't loaded it's a simple matter to go to Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup and select DUN under Communications. Problem is, it isn't listed under Communications. We've tried uninstalling both TCP/IP and the DUN adapter and reinstalling but still we have no DUN listed under Communications. Is there a way to re-load this option short of reinstalling Windows 95? Her system is flakey because of a few proprietary programs and we really hate to mess with it much. Any clues as to how DUN was removed? I haven't seen this before.

Have you checked in Device Manager if the modem is recognised and there are no conflicts? In Control Panel, click on the modem icon and run the diagnostics. If the modem is recognised and responds ok, go to the Microsoft Windows Update site and download the latest Internet Connection Wizard.

Goto MicroSofts website and download MS DUN V1.3.(dial up networking).

Then run the install and it should put dial up adapters in Network Neigh.

To reload DUN for 95, follow these steps:

In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows Setup tab, click Have Disk. Type the path for the Rnaplus.inf file, and then click OK.
NOTE: If you are using the Windows 95 CD-ROM, the path is drive>:\Admin\Apptools\Dscript
where is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.
Click the "SLIP and Scripting for Dial-Up Networking" check box to select it, and then click Install.

NOTE: These steps apply only to the retail release of Windows 95. This information does not apply to Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2.
