Not a bog fan of it myself however that's because I deal with corporate networks however there should be not major security issues.

I don't know where you can get it, but WEP has been cracked. It just isn't secure. Maybe you'd rather look into some more secure algorithm, like WPA?

you probaly need to remove and reinstall all your network components, like tcp/ip, adapters, etc. then if you still get it try going here you might find it there, they have a lot of fixes\nhttp://aumha.org/win4/kbefe.php\n\nand you might find it here\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=fatal+exception+occurred+in+0028%3A0000000009+in+VxD---+called+from+0028%3Ac001c30c+in+VxD+NDIS%2801%29%2B00004620&catalog=LCID%3D1033&pwt=false&title=false&kt=PHRASE&mdt=0&comm=1&ast=1&ast=2&ast=3&mode=a&spid=1139&x=14&y=6\nyou just have to keep searching, or reinstall windows 98se, if it is a windows problem, that should straighten it out if all else fail, you can just install it over the one you have, you won't lose anything. You really should upgrade to at least ME, or XP, cause there are a lot of things that are weird to 98 anymore

It is difficult to determine what exactly, aside from security rollups will be included in Windows XP Service Pack 3.  In fact, Service Pack 3 is *not* currently available, and according to Microsoft's own Service Pack Roadmap, SP3 is not due out until the second half of the year 2007.\n\nI've included a link to their Service Pack Roadmap below.

Make sure it's at the top of the list in the preferred networks, you can even delete the other ones if you don't normally connect to them... Check out this reference, of Google for "preferred wireless network".  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg1102.mspx

Winipcfg only works on Windows 95, 98, and ME. Go to start -> run -> type in winipcfg. A new box should popup. At the top there should be a dropdown box. If you are on the PPP adapter, click on the down arrow and chose your network card. Then at the bottom there should be release and renew buttons. Click on release and make sure the IP address changes to 0.0.0.0, then click on renew to get an IP address. This won't work on 2000, XP. \n\nOn 2000 and XP go to start -> run -> type in cmd. A black box will popup. Type in "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes and a space between the g and slash) and then "ipconfig /renew". This won't work on 95, 98, ME.

here's what's happening to you right now:\n1st, you upgraded to WindowsXP from either Windows98 or WindowsME...\n\n2nd, your are currently deleting and reinstalling the network adapter's device drivers just to make the network adapter work..\n\nwell, for every problem, isolation is the key...so...\n\n1st, try removing (or uninstalling) the network adapter again...then shut down your PC. open up your PC and physically remove your network adapter from its current slot and re-install it in a different slot.\nusually, WindowsXP will automatically detect the network adapter without the need for a device driver disk.\n\n2nd, if the first option doesn't work, try re-installing WindowsXP from scratch, but before you do this make sure to back-up your data (documents, pics, what-have-you) to a back-up media (e.g. CD-R disc, flash drive, etc.).

A UPnP device is a device able to be controlled by the UPnP protocols which work on any logical TCP/IP network. As far as these protocols are concerned, the device simply responds to UPnP "control points" which are provided in software or hardware and work as a front-end for the device.. The basic function in UPnP is for devices and control points to discover each over over the logical IP network and make themselves and their capabilities known to each other.\n\nSo far, UPnP has worked as standards for managing broadband routers in the context of "punching through" ports for sophisticated Internet applications like games, instant-messaging programs and BitTorrent clients. It also has worked as a standard for media clients like digital media adaptors to discover content on media servers such as software like Windows Media Connect that you run on your computer or hardware devices like some network-attached storage units or the Philips Streamium WACS-700 Wireless Media Center.\n\nWith regards,\n\nSimon Mackay

It depends on the pathces you apply to the OS,\n\nfor example: Windows XP with service pack 2 is much secure than the standard eddition of Windows XP.

no it won't cause any problems. Just don't download any windows updates. \n\nAnd you won't be able to use the new windows media player. it can detect if your computer is valid or not.

Detech All the USB devices and Run the Installation CD of WindowsXP, but don;t do a fresh Installation instead opt for Upgrading the operating system.. This way you need not to install al the other software again..\n  And believe me with windows this is the best option,will take only 50 Mins,and you need not to have tension in your mind..\n  (Iassume your hardware is working fine)

I think what you are trying to say is that if your wireless connection to your access point (AP) becomes disconnected and then you try to reconnect, the workstation does not pick up a new IP address.\n\nIf that is the case, then you should repair your connection.  In Windows XP Service Pack 2, all you have to do is right-click on the wireless connection in the system tray (by the clock) and click "Repair".  It will force Windows to acquire an IP address.
