Help--Network setting screw uo
I have a Compaq tower system running 98 (SE?) with a dial up modem. It was
running fine until... I recently acquired a HP Pavillion dv6000 and ordered a wireless router so that I can network the two computers. The router has not yet arrived. I thought that I would do some preliminary set up and started with the Compaq system. I started to set up the network and I think changed a setting. In any event, I now get an error message when I try to use Netscape Mail and I get an error message when I try to download updates for AVG virus checker. Both of those messages close me out of the respective programs. How can I get things back to where I was before? JP |
