Windows Forum / Windows Me / Networking / October 200598-me update HELP
Hi All, I have just upgraded windows 98 to me. I did not have Dial up networking version 1.4 installed on 98 and now i can't access a ADSL modem connection. was told to download dun1.4 which i have. but it won't run as it says it wrong windows version. Any help??? >Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Any help??? DUN 1.4 only applies to Windows 95 and 98. You can't install it, and don't need to install it, on Windows Me. I'd delete and then re-create the ADSL modem connection. That might require getting software from your ADSL service provider.  SignatureBest Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.

Win Me is more reliable than earlier Win 9x systems thanks to having both system file protection and system restore and no more buggy than Win 98SE and probably far less so, unfortunately the same cannot always be said of some who have used it. SignatureMike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com Umm - errrr - Steve, I'd beg to differ on your evaluation of ME!!! ME is 1) more stable 2) more compatible with hardware 3) more likely to be able to recover from serious problems 4) less likely to hit serious problems 5) more stable in a networking environment (workgroups - I have NO experience in Domains!!) 6) more fun! than Win98 - either FE or SE!!!

Sorry mate you are talking through your arse. I've been a sys admin since w3.1 and have had more service calls with buggy millenium than W98SE. Just do a google search about the problems networking it. It was rushed out, never properly supported and not many vendors produced drivers for it (knowing that it was a short term fix before W2000/XP was on its way). Got to a stage where if I call out and the client had Millenium, I told them I was busy and to try someone else - it is PANTS!!!! It's you that is speaking tripe and twaddle. You clearly have little or no experience of Win Me regardless of the fancy title you give yourself. You might be a sys admin and run a load of 'nix servers but that doesn't mean you know anything about Win Me and from your post you clearly don't. So to put it bluntly, if anyone is talking, as you put it, through their arse it is yourself. SignatureMike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com > Sorry mate you are talking through your arse.

I disagree with your statement, I started with 98 then went on to WinME and found it very good to run and use, in fact that machine is still running and part of my network here along side two XP machines, it didn't have any problems networking and still doesn't even though the machine is getting rather old now but it's still going strong.
