Winsock2 Update Only for Windows 95 Users Forrest Stroud
Only for Windows 95 Users
The Winsock2 update will only install on Windows 95 computers (Winsock2 is included with Windows NT 4 and Windows 98). If you're going to be installing the Microsoft Dial-Up Networking (MSDUN) client as well as the Winsock2 update, make sure you install MSDUN first. If installed after Winsock2 the MSDUN client will overwrite wsock32.dll and other winsock files, so you won't be able to benefit from Winsock2. For additional installation issues, check out Microsoft's Winsock2 page.
Pros: Improved performance for 'net apps on Win 95 computers with MS TCP/IP stacks
Cons: Only works on Windows 95 computers with a Microsoft TCP/IP stack
