Hi, I'm having a bit of difficulty at the moment, I would appreciate it if anybody could help. I'm not sure if this is a network problem, but I don't know where else to post.
I connected to a network in a shared house recently. The other two people are using windows xp and I was using windows 98.
after connecting there were no problems with the internet, but I could very rarely read any of the other computers. I expect that there are some compatibility issues.
I am using a very old network card perhaps this was a problem.
Anway I managed to completely lose the internet immediately after I did a check for some virus' and removed 4 trojan diallers, the program was unable to clean them so I deleted them. one of the files was called mysysinfo.exe under java in windows, the others were temporary internet files. they didn't seem important though so I don't know if it was a coincedence.... seems prety unlikely....
I had a windows xp disc and installed that, in the hopes that the intenet would sort itself out. I was able to identify the other computers properly after I installed xp, but not access any shared files or vice versa.
The internet was working fine initially, so I think the problem with the network is because the card is 10 years old, but im not sure what happened to the internet.
I would appreciate any advice, thanks.
