ARCHIVED: In Windows 95, 98, and Me, how do I change the DNS and WINS server IP numbers?
Note: UITS recommends that you use a current version of Windows on computers connected to the Indiana University network; see For Windows computers on the IU network, why does UITS recommend Windows 2000, XP Professional, or Vista Enterprise or Ultimate? Security features on the IU network prevent computers running older operating systems from authenticating to ADS, printing to some network printers in departments and campus housing, and mapping drives to other computers.

Startmenu, chooseSettings, thenControl Panel. Double-clickNetwork.
