Configuring TCP/IP

In order to use the Java WorkShop debugger, you must install and configure TCP/IP software on your Windows 95 or Windows NT system.

Windows 95

Dial-up Prompt

If your computer is set up to prompt you whenever it uses dial-up networking, you will see the same prompt when you start the Java WorkShop debugger (once per Java WorkShop session). If you want to discontinue dial-up prompting, follow these steps:
