Hello:

I have Dial Up Networking 1.4 upgrade for Windows 95b installed and use IE
5.5 SP2.

I use MSN as my ISP and wanted to know if the way I set the network
connection will give best performance.

From the Control Panel under Network Properties I have Primary Network
Log-on as: Client for Microsoft Networks. Also listed are: Dial Up
Adapter, Dial Up Adapter #2, Microsoft Virtual Network Adapter, NDISWAN...,
and TCPIP Dial Up Adapter.

Under Properties for Client for Microsoft Networks I have checked with radio
bullet "Log-on and restore Network Connection."

The other option is "Quick Log-on" which is not checked.

Do I have this set for best performance or should I make any changes.

Thanks, Frank

Are you using a dial-up connection?
Try setting Primary Network Log-on to Windows Logon, unless you are on a network.
Under Properties for Client for Microsoft Networks, select the radio button for Quick Log-on, unless you are on a Network.

Performance gains with dial-up relate more to the hidden settings, such as MaxMTU.

I contacted MSN about my settings and they said my current configuration
would give best performance since I connect to their MSN network as my ISP.
Thanks for your reply. I guess I should have called MSN first but
appreciate your response about me being "on a network".

Not familiar with the hidden settings for MaxMTU you reference. Did set an
initialization string of AT&F for my USR V.90 modem and dialed new access
telephone number to MSN that seems to improve performance.

Still learning.

Thanks again, Frank
