Although not highly technical, I was able to set up a wireless network in my home using a Netgear router / 802.11 g card in a Win XP laptop. My "main" computer - the one connected to the router - is running Win 98. This was successful, and now I can wirelessly surf via the laptop. However, I...

I have PC number 1 running W98SE (which connects very happily to the internet via a Realtek RTL8139 NIC). It has a second onboard Realtek RTL8169. I am attempting to use this to connect to a second PC (running XP but never been near the internet) via a CAT5 crossover cable to the second PCs...

Hi there, my dad asked me today if it is true that you have to pay Microsoft each year for the license and Windows update, since that is what they were told by their Head Quarters... and they were charged 100 Euro yearly for the PC they use. I never have heard of this, but maybe the rules are...
