It is possible your modem just died. It is also possible that Win 95 hashed the communications package and the TCP/IP stack. It occurs very frequently in both Win 95 and 98. YOu might consider one of a few options:

1. Try going back into BIOS an enable Plug & Play OS.

2. Purchase a new modem that comes with the driver disk.

3. Try to troubleshoot the Win 95 communications package and protocols. To do this you will need the EXACT same disk the original OS was installed with or locate the CAB files on the hard drive.

4. Extract the RASAPII.dll, WINSOCK.dll and WINSOCK32.dll files. Again you will need the EXACT same disk the original OS was installed with or locate the CAB files on the hard drive.

5. Reinstall the OS. If the original CD has a file called "Win95" you can copy that into the root of your hard drive and then open the Win 95 folder and look for a file called "Setup". With Win 98 this will reinstall the OS without trashing your other files. Unfortunately you may lose all of your files if Win 95 does not do the same.

6. Upgrade to Win 98se.

7. Use your current machine for a boat anchor and get another one!
