     Do you have the Plus Package?  This has the TCP/IP protocol package.  I
don't know what would happen if you did not buy the extra software from
Microsoft...?  But with it, WIN95 and Netscape (ver. 1.2, but the 32-bit
version of it) are working on my machine.  Check with the WIN95 Internet
pages (from Microsoft and others) for help.
