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 which is part of the 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. ================================================================== Information about the Quicktime Plug-in ================================================================== This part describes what you will need and how to use the Windows version of Apple's QuickTime plug-ins for Netscape Navigator 3.0. WHAT THE QUICKTIME PLUG-IN DOES: Apple's QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later lets you experience QuickTime content directly in the Navigator browser window. You no longer need a "helper application" like MoviePlayer to view QuickTime content with Navigator 3.0. You can also view QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects inline, after downloading the QuickTime VR component from Apple. As a web developer, you can control the QuickTime playback experience through HTML commands. You can choose to have a movie automatically played for a user, or present a controller giving users the ability to play, stop, fastforward, and rewind. The QuickTime plug-in works with existing QuickTime movies, and with movies prepared to take advantage of the plug-in's "fast start" feature. The "fast start" feature will present the first frame of the movie almost immediately and can begin playing even before the movie has been completely downloaded. The "fast start" feature saves you time waiting for the entire movie to download, but otherwise plays just like regular QuickTime movie. Netscape Navigator will use the QuickTime plug-in automatically to play any QuickTime movie while browsing the internet. The plug-in can play many kinds of QuickTime movies (.mov files) including movies with text, MIDI, and other kinds of data. If you have downloaded and installed the QuickTime VR component, it will also let you interact with QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects. WHAT YOU NEED: * A PC running Windows 95, NT, or 3.1. * Latest version(s) of QuickTime : - QuickTime 2.1.1 for Windows You can download version of QuickTime from http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/sw.html Follow the instructions on the page to install the software.
