1) Upgrading to IE6 on a Win98 machine will probably end up in a lot of
trouble. Many people had problems after installing IE6. IE6 was clearly
not written for Windows 98.


100% agreed here. It was a real dog on SE and probably the second worst
mistake I made in PC computing. The first worst was 'experimenting' with
the DOS FOR/IN/DO command a decade ago and wiping out several hundred
painstakingly handcrafted image files.

However, IE 6.0 rolled back nicely to IE 5.0. Well.....mostly nicely....I
lost some custom functionality.

Yes, how DO you close those ports?
