HI Andrew Rossmann,
Yes, my cable system uses it's own dialer software to create the
connection.
I was trying to make a "manual/hand made" connection to avoid using the
automatic cable dialer software installation. It did work out for me on
Windows 98. But on NT it didbn't.
What good free firewall software can I install on this os to avoid
infections?
OR Can an antivirus app do the job?
