Windows 95/98/ME Chebucto Plus Setup
Here is the setup information for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME.
You will need to have your Chebucto
Plus password before proceeding. You may also require your
Windows 95, 98 or ME CD-ROM (or disks). Clicking on a screen shot will
show a larger version.
Windows 95/ 98/ ME Manual Setup
Windows 98 and ME users may skip ahead.
There are two versions of Windows 95: the original and OSR2, which
Microsoft released in December 1996.
If you purchased your computer or copy of Windows 95 before December 1996,
you should have the original Windows 95.
If you purchased your computer or copy of Windows 95 since December 1996,
you probably have OSR2 (but may have purchased old stock with the original version).
To determine which version of Windows 95 you have, follow these steps:
- While holding down the ALT key, double-click on the My Computer
icon on your desktop
- In the System Properties dialog box if it lists your system as being
Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950 B, then you are running the OSR2 version, if it just
lists Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950 or 4.00.950 A, then you are running the
original release of Windows 95.
- Click on OK button

Plus is a four step process:

Chebucto Plus Mail and News
Settings:
- SMTP Server = smtp.chebucto.ns.ca
- POP3 Server = pop.chebucto.ns.ca
- NNTP Server = news.dal.ca
You should make http://plus.chebucto.ns.ca the
default home page in your web browser as it has your session timer and
other useful Chebucto Plus links and
utilities. How you do this will vary from browser to browser; in Internet
Explorer it will be under Options or Internet Options
(depending on the version) and in Netscape Navigator it will be under
Preferences or Options (depending upon the version).
We would also recommend that you get a good anti-virus program for your
computer and keep it updated. You can do a web search for anti-virus
software.
