Shaun says "They need to get rid of win98 altogether. Its not very useful for broadband connections at all. Always seem to one error after another"
Not my experience. My win98SE system is rock-solid with NTL cable modem via ethernet. You've probably got some dodgy hardware.
The only maojor problems I've had in 4 years intensive use of win98SE were random crashes due to a dodgy memory chip.
However, I'm in the process of moving to Linux (because of product activation in newer Windows versions, cost, closed source issues etc.) and I'd like to thank MS for giving me extra time to complete my switch over at leisure.
