[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1014454, member: 325666"] Finally after several days I got windows 98SE to 'see' the servers .. All I wanted to do really was to be able to get files in and out of this isolated OS .. ..and now I can.. sort of ... To achieve this I used another bit of legacy hardware supplied by Topper.. An old ISA 3com card .. After much trying with the more recent pci card fpr which I have no installation discs ... I simply gave up .. too modern for 98 and 95 ...so enter the legacy ISA 10/100 NIC ..which IS supported by the 98SE install .. Sadly not by 95 ..so as yet this OS is still isolated. I realise the 98SE PC is not 'secure' but the network is ... All other PCs are passworded..so the worse that could happen is that the legacy PC when running 98 gets hacked .. lol WoW this has transported me back some years ...and makes me realise what we now take forgranted. Installation was seriously hard back then ..and required some effort on your part. :D [/QUOTE]
