You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape. The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you can run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator: 1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider. 2. TCP/IP stack 3. Netscape Navigator software You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account from an Internet provider (for a dialup account). When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file. If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking for the WINSOCK.DLL file that is part of a winsock package. ================================================================== International ================================================================== The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the latest versions for US Windows.This will not affect 32-bit Windows. For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese versions are the internationalization of error strings. Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error message after installing Netscape. Currently, there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs. Netscape is working with Microsoft to make the Japanese version of the OLE2 DLLs available. ================================================================== Known Bugs ================================================================== * Please see the Release Notes for a complete listing of known bugs.
