Hello ppl..
I wish to bring a router into my house for a few reasons, and I would
like to know if there is such a thing as a Normal Router and a Nat Router?
Dropped into a computer shop today to price a router and also to ask

I've been having probs installing a backgammon prog (gnubk), I kept
getting this message:

I'm fooling around with the new Asrock motherboard, and somehow
managed to get something screwed up.  At startup, during the win-98
spash screen, the speaker starts madly beeping and I can do nothing
except turn the system off.

flash 9 work with my win98se machine? Thanks

I'm really fed up with XP.  I've been using it for last 4 months
because it came on this new computer but I'm sick and tired of its

out on it.
I was thinking about just buying another HP computer, but if I were to

They're now EXE files (self-executing WinZip.)
I would DEARLY love to have someone(s) proof these before I start
advertising beyond his group. Especially the web pages and the Readme.txt.
Gotta be in the next couple of days, though.

just did a quick look at this to see if it was something i could handle and
it seems difficult.  my new computer is XP and i don't want to do anything to
mess it up. or is it actually pretty easy?
is there any other solution?

It's next week, folks. I have written instructions and an EXE file that will
do the hard work. All you have to do is remember to go into the Date/Time
applet, change your time zone to some other Time Zone, click Apply, then
change it to your Time Zone and click OK.
