RE: [STN] Cable problems: some answers to your questions about my problem

[Martijn Doedens [DArchAngel]]

Okay I found out some more:

The problem is also when only one computer connects to the STN router, only
it stays on longer. After that same problem so bottomline is that I'm going
to setup a Win95B computer with sygate to test if it is a software or
hardware problem...

Just curious...  why are you superstitious about it?

I've got one Pentium with WinME on it, and two others with Win95
on them.  Everything works great, no matter which order I bring
them up.  Having said that, it took me a day or so to get the
WinME box to talk through STN to the outside world, and I never
did figure out exactly what I was doing wrong.  I checked,
doublechecked and rechecked my network configuration, and it is
the same now as it was when I first installed it.  It's been about two
months since I put ME on this machine, and I think I removed, then
reinstalled the network parts of the operating system to get it to
function right.

So far, the biggest thing about ME I don't like is that I haven't got a
full-screen MSDOS box available when I need it.  It hasn't been a
serious problem yet, as I have the other Pentiums and a 486 laptop
around that I can use in a pinch.
