1. Click Start | Settings | Control panel.
2. Make sure you have an Internet icon. If you don’t, this feature cannot be used on your system. If you do have an Internet icon, and you double click it, you may find this feature in three places:
   • Under the Auto Dial tab. Make sure "use auto dial" is checked, then make sure your INTERALB, Ltd. connection is selected below it.
   • Under the Connection tab. Make sure "connect to the Internet as needed" is checked, and make sure INTERALB, Ltd. is selected as your connection to use.
   • If you have Internet Explorer 4.x, under the Connection tab you will need to make sure "connect to the Internet using a modem" is selected. Click Settings, and make sure your InterAlb. connection is selected at the top. Then click OK.

If you use Internet Explorer, try this fix.

1. Connect to InterAlb. using your Dial Up Networking icon.
2. Open Internet Explorer
3. After the home page loads, erase everything typed in the Address line and retype the InterAlb.
4. The page will reload. Close Internet Explorer.
5. Disconnect from InterAlb
6. Reopen Internet Explorer and see if the Connect To screen appears.

If all of these steps fail, you now join the 50 percent of other Windows 95 users who experience the same thing. There is no explanation why Windows 95 "loses" the ability to autoconnect when you start a browser first. And, there is no way to fix this bug either. It is just something we have to learn to live with.You can create a shortcut on your desktop, which allows you to connect without having to open the Dial Up Networking folder every time.

1. From the desktop, double click on My Computer | Dial Up Networking
2. Right-click on the INTERALB icon and select Create Shortcut.
3. When the error message appears, click Yes.
4. Close all windows and you will now have a shortcut you can use to connect.

You can also try these steps.
