Apology for a longish post. Is there a way to force supposedly open files to be closed so they can be backed up? This involves Win98 on peer-to-peer network. One computer is "designated" server and has the main application and data accessed by the other computers in the workgroup, whose OSes...

We all know that when we search the Internet we use TCP/IP protocol to communicate with other computers around the globe. But sometimes we use Netbeui protocol too. Someone told me that the Netbeui protocol is very efficient protocol to use when you are using in a quite small LAN. And do not need...

I just installed windows 98 on a machine that had windows me. (used a new hard drive) I can't get on the internet, and the icon in device mgr. is yellow. It can't find the driver on the windows installation disk. It is a Compaq 10/100 pci card. I need to find a place where I can download the...

Have a minimal DSL connection running but was seeing some suspicious UDP port activity hitting the software firewall (which claimed to block everything). I was especially dismayed to see that an occasional packet was outbound. Looked again at the TCP/IP settings for the NIC and noticed that the...

Hello, I would like to run a batch, once, every time the network is connected. But the task scheduler seems not to have this possibility "network connected". It can at windows start. Not at network start. (it's a modem, not a LAN) Any good idea is good to try. Thanks.

I have 6 pc's in a workgroup, 5 run windows xp professional, one run windows 98. I can access all files on all xp computers from the 98, but all xp computers get "access denied" when trying to access the 98 computer. The 98 computer can be seen in the workgroup computers, but when you click on it,...

Hi! I have Windows 98 workstations in a network with a DHCP enabled but they are picking the 255.255.0.0 mask instead of 255.255.255.0. I also have WinXP workstations which are however picking up the correct address. Anyone one had an idea on what's causing the mismatch? Thanks Kailash
