Aktuelle Neuigkeiten, Nachrichten und E-Mails verschicken, Programme herunterladen, Filme und Musik genießen – all dies und noch viel mehr bietet ihnen das weltweite Datennetz Internet. Noch mancher Benutzer schreckt zurück vor der Einrichtung der eigenen Internetverbindung. Windows Tweaks zeigt die Einrichtung einer normalen Verbindung via Modem und analoger Telefonleitung.
First we start with the modem installation:
1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties from the context menu that appears.
2. In the next window, switch to the Device Manager tab and select the PCI Communication Device entry. Your entry for the modem could also be different, but it must always have something to do with connection and communication. Double-click on this entry, which is marked with a yellow exclamation mark.

3. A new window opens in which you click on Reinstall driver and enter the position of the driver (Advanced). Now insert the driver CD or diskette that came with your modem/computer into the drive. Now select Next.
4. Decide on the option Specify a location and then on the Browse button. Now navigate to your CD/diskette and look for the folder of the correct driver for your Windows 98. This is usually marked. Select this folder and choose OK.

5. Click on Next to let Windows recognize and find the driver. Click Next again to proceed to the next step. The country configuration settings may now open, in which you should of course select Germany. If the installation was successful, the Finish button should now appear, which you should proudly click on.
