Welcome to dataingenious.com The following step-by-step instructions will take you through setting up and connecting to dataingenious.com using Windows ’98, as well as sending and receiving e-mail.
Windows ’98, unlike its predecessors, makes connecting onto datainfosys a simple process. If for any reason you do not have the Internet Connection Wizard on your system, follow the instructions for Windows ’95. There are only a few minor differences to the setup procedure.
If your machine is not stand-alone and is connected to other machines around it, on a network, you should seek advice from your systems administrator before continuing.
