Of importance here is the box at the top of the window which shows you the
network components that are installed. In Windows 95, you will likely have
a few extras, such as IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol or NetBEUI installed.
These are unrelated to Internet connections, and can be removed safely (they
are, however, used for LAN connections; if your computer is hooked up to a
network, only remove those protocols which are bound to the Dial-Up Adapter).
The essential components are shown at right: Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP. The
Client for Microsoft Networks is a handy addition which allows you to save
your Internet password (Windows 98 uses Microsoft Family Logon for this
purpose). Don't worry if TCP/IP is missing: we can add it in very easily.
To add the TCP/IP protocol, click on the "Add" button, and then double-click "Protocol". Select Microsoft and then TCP/IP, and click "OK". The screens themselves are shown below. You will then be taken back to the Network window, where you should now see TCP/IP near the bottom of the list. Just click on "OK", let Windows restart the computer, and you're all ready to connect.
