Right. I'm walking Microsuck Windoze 98SE. I have two PCs connected via NetGear EN108tn Ethernet Hub which in turn is connected to a Cisco DSL modem thru the uplink port. Both machines use 3COM NICs. One is ISA, the other PCI/USB. The ISA PC is now lost, that is, it can't be seen thru Network Neighborhood, either from itself or the PCI/USB PC. The PCI/USB PC can be seen thru NetNeigh by both machines. I downloaded the latest drivers I could find from 3COM (3C509 ISA NIC). The ISA PC disappeared before this which is why I loaded the new drivers. Suggestions?

Well, I stumbled across the solution to my problem. It seems the when I downloaded one of the IE 5 security patches (there are so many I've lost track of which I have and don't have) the Sharing selector got turned off. My one PC wasn't configured to share anything. One click and it's back on line.

No dial tone?

on Aug 16, 2000

I have an e machine that is about 10 months old. My son was online one evening when a storm came through. The computer is plugged into a surge protector, but I still have asked him to turn the computer off when it is storming. Since then when I try to log onto the internet I get a message saying there is no dial tone. I have checked the phone line and it is fine. After unplugging the phone line a couple of times from the back of the computer it finally dials. What could be causing this? Is there a way to fix the problem? I'm tired of plugging and unplugging the phone line.Read More

installing windows

on Sep 07, 2000

formated the hard disk to re-install windows 95. My computer is a laptop and only has one drive (D, CD reader). When I reboot the computer I get the message: invalid system disk, replace the disk and then press anykey. I get this message even when the Windows 95 CD is in drive D (same CD that came with the computer when new), and no DOS prompt. How can I reinstall windows 95?Read More
