WI FI my 98se


Recommended Posts

I have an old rebuilt solid installation of 98se which I am trying to set up on my wireless network at home.

I have installed and apparently functioning 54Mbps Wireless-G 802.11pci adapter with speed booster.

I have removed the dial up modem card and disabled the LAN line in BIOS so there's is no conflict.

I had to call AT&T tech support to get the wireless modem to recognize the signal from the PC.

This worked and I had a signal 99% but when opening Opera "Error" cannot find remote server.

Same thing trying Mozilla T-Bird and Windows IE.

I believe my connections are set up correctly.

When I was on the phone with the at&t techie he was able to get the link to work (Steady Green Light on the modem Wireless) twice then when he put me on hold it disconnected.

The next tier techie said I would have to upgrade to 2000 or better or pay for additional support.

I'm running 384RAM Pentium 2 and 10G hard drive with nothing really on it Defragged and clean as a whistle on a Compac Presario 5170.

PLEASE HELP ME

You called AT&T and got tech support for 98? I work for AT&T and that is no longer supported, you must of got a new person :p

Edit: Did not read the full post, they are correct we only support 2000 and up, we still get people calling in with 95 all the time :laugh:

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
