Finally recovered from rotten computer ills...

[sho305]

Just about a week of no dialup on my machine, what pain! Rotten w2k, this is the second time I had to reinstall it. Did not want to bind with the modem anymore...that is what I get for trying to get connection sharing going again. Takes forever to put all that software back in....@^#$@!!!!! Worked on it for 30 hours, then figured screw it. Funny how I could boot win98 on the same machine and it worked fine. Just about did not put it back in. I use the 98 just for games.

Anyway, nice to be back. It is 32 here today and light snow...what fun. :)

hey Sho............. that ICS is a POS:eek:

W2K is great compared to 98, just use terminal services instead of ICS:D

Yeah I found out all about RAS, WANminiports, ICS, proxy servers, DNS, bindings, and all that but still would not work no matter what protocol or adapter I installed/uninstalled or even repair of w2k pro. I kept getting error 720 for PPP, and a miniport error in hardware. 30 hours digging and on the net with the other machine and nothing worked. I'll have to check that out, thanks for the tip. I only have a 98 machine hooked to this w2k/98, and a w2k/Mandrake play machine here on a hub. Need to share printers, and get it working good for when I move up to ISDN or something. Wanted to use the Mandrake for a firewall, but might get a box, like lynksys one and not use a dedicated machine for it.

Now Outlook is not wanting to open my links in a new window, and trashes a window for itself....:rolleyes: OK, supposta have that fixed per MS now after a reboot.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I think I about used up a years worth of life for my "on" button so far.

70 and sunshine today. Light frost last night. Supposed to stay cold for another week, then get back up to more normal 80. St. Johns is pretty this time of year.
