The following list identifies the major steps associated with replacing the TCP/IP Stack:
• Remove the FTP Software OnNet (V1.2, 2.0, or 2.1) TCP/IP stack.
• Add the Microsoft TCP/IP stack.
• Reinstall the FTP Software InterDrive NFS client (if required).
Recording Configuration Information
Before removing the FTP Software OnNet16 TCP/IP stack, you need to record configuration information for
use with the Microsoft TCP/IP stack.
Depending on which version of FTP OnNet software is installed on your PC and which version of Windows 95
is being used, the screen shots (illustrations) shown on the following pages may not match what is shown for
your version of OnNet. If this is the case, you may have to search for the configuration information on the
different tabs displayed within the FTP Software's TCP/IP Stack Properties window.
To record configuration information:
1. Click the Start button and choose Settings -> Control Panel.
