New Many times, many ways. It's not an issue now (using new PC).
My story was just meant to illustrate that Win9x can develop problems with networking (and remote printers) which are seemingly insolvable by mere mortals in a reasonable period of time.

My particular problems have been resolved by using a newer PC - i.e. it wasn't worth fighting with any more. The cost in my time troubleshooting was more than the cost of buying and configuring a new machine.

Thanks for your help though. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

New So what happens to the old PC?
You wipe the hard drive and sell it on Ebay? Or is it sitting in a closet somewhere? Older systems can run Linux very well, don'tchaknow? ;)
