Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking

Remove Dial Up Connection Delay

SUMMARY: Speed up Windows 95 Dial Up Connections

Do you use DUN (Dial-Up Networking) with Windows 95? Do you notice a delay from when you (or your login script) finishes logging onto your ISP and when Windows 95 displays the "Connected.." box? If so, you may have a checkbox set that you do not need, causing the delay.

1. Access the Dial-Up Networking properties for your Internet connection.
2. Click on the "Start" button, choosing "Programs," "Accessories," and then "Dial-Up Networking."
3. Right-click on your Internet connection method (ISP) and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu that follows.
4. When you see the resulting dialog box, click the "Server Type..." button.
5. Uncheck "Log on to network" under "Advanced options."

This may or may not work for you, but we tested this tip on one machine, eliminating a 10 second delay.
