Can Windows 95 be connected to the Internet?

Open edent opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I am aware of the perils of connecting an unpatched Windows installation to the Internet - but I thought it might be fun to try out old versions of Internet Explorer.

Is that possible - or just a very silly idea?

Thanks for the brilliant website.

I've tried but it always takes forever and nothing ever happens.

Without a good firewall, a modern supported OS and antivirus, it would be very unsafe and the machine would be hacked in minutes.

Adding any level of support for networking in Windows 95 would be a large undertaking -- not something I plan to tackle. Sorry.

At least there is still INTERNAT
