Checking your existing Network Settings:
Your Network portion of Windows controls how your computer connects to other computers.
If this is at all setup incorrectly you may experience a host of different problems. In
some cases you can go for sometime before these errors will be at all noticeable, other
times the troubles appear right out of the box. If you went through the connection Speed
section you should have seen the short quick instructions for setting up your network.
We will replicate them here for you as well. Please do not make any changes to your
network without consulting Technical Support. These are some of the most sensitive
settings in Windows and require several things before making changes. You MUST HAVE your
Windows Setup CD (Windows 95/98/98se) or the CAB files already stored on your machine.
If you are not sure if you have your setup CD or if you have the CAB files, please contact
Technical Support. Most Windows ME systems come with the CAB files pre-installed as well
as ALL Windows 2000 and XP systems. Once again, if you are using Windows 95, Windows 98,
or Windows 98 Second Edition, please call Technical Support at 1-866-589-8051
before you change anything.
(NOTE: Anytime you enter your Network settings and don't make a
change you should click the CANCEL button to exit so that Windows doesn't attempt to
reconfigure your network. This is vital because your Windows Installation disk may be
required and without it some errors to your system could occur.)
