82777 2002-09-24 20:33:00 Hi,can someone please tell me how to enter the Primary and Secondary DNS info in Win95 Ie/Oe 4.Trying to set up a pc that a friend has bought for his mother,who has never touched a pc before.Have found where to enter the outgoing and incoming mail settings,as supplied by paradise.Thanks.

82778 2002-09-24 21:08:00 You do not have to enter Primary and Secondary DNS as they are server assigned by the ISP.

If you want to put them in they are added to the Dialup Networking connection.
Double click Mycomputer
Double click Dialup networking
Right click ISP connection icon and select properties
Select Server types from the Tab at the top.
Click on TCP/IP Settings
You should have Server assigned IP address and Server assigned name server address selected here.
If you want to put in DNS you select Specify name server address but as I mentioned this is not necessary normally.

82780 2002-09-24 22:34:00 i would also install a much more secure browser. the highest ie you can go is 5.5sp2. 5.01sp2 would be a good 2nd choice.

or you could ditch IE all together and use OPERA. has mail client built in or try useing eudora.
