Re: Windows 95 Acts Like a 16 Bit Machine?

Hola Max.

I suspect that you are confusing two issues. Your Windows '95 may be
running like 32 bit software but your access to the internet is running at
16 bits. The most likely cause is that you are using a 16 bit Winsock to
access your server. In Windows '95 you must use the Windows '95 networks
feature to configure your dialup line. It will need to be a PPP
coinnection, in the event that you are using a SLIP account you will have to
change.

If you need additional help write me privately, and I will send you some
documentation on how to set up the network.

Saludos y buena suerte

Have you checked in Control Panel/System/Performance to see exactly
what is running in real mode? The fix for that is to get updated drivers
from the Net or manufacturers or install the correct ones included on the
WIN95 CD-ROM disk.
