dial-up setup

i am installing win95 to a new pc from scratch, the question is i will setup the dial-up to a local ISP, so what kind of network adapter i need to install at win95 setup?
i choose windows logon, not MS network or Netware logon as  the start, then after win95 running, i choose the dialup properties tab and can't find the place to input my phone number, IP address, DNS server, i just can't find right place, i believe it should be in the dial-up adapter properties tab, so what is wrong

you shouldn't need to play with network control panel settings.
Just make sure that Dial-up networking installed (add/remove programs->windows tab) then Dial-up Networking will appear in My Computer. You then enter there and create a new entry and there is where you can enter in your phone number and ip/dns stuff.

strange enough, i reinstall the win95 and at one step it asked which network adapter to install, and TCP/IP is not there(it is necessary for PPP to work) so i choose add but computer can't find it. then after win95 running i checked network configuration in control panel the TCP/IP is missing, so do you think if i choose add tab it will find it from cdrom and add it? i need to configure my gateway and wins server, as well as other parameter, not only IP/DNS.
tcp/ip isn't a network adapter so it will not be in that list (it's a protocol). Dun installs a Dial-Up Adapter. But again, I don't think you can setup this up during win95 setup. But you can choose to install Dial-up Networking from add/remove programs if you choose custom setup.

It is it that you have to setup the isp during reinstall or something? you can add/remove/change all you want after windows is installed.
