How to induce a nightmare....watch me reading the replies on here !

Thanks for all the further advice.

The issue of remote access then. I can understand the concern, however, as this was a "one off" and controlled by BT, why should this subsequently become a problem.....or is it that because BT opened up my PC to the net as it were, then as a result I am now "exposed".....albeit with safeguards in place.

I know Win98 is like a collander and always has been, but, as I said, prior to this I have had relatively little trouble....lucky maybe ?......or just prudent as to my usage.

Am off to change my shreddies !

Krystal,

Dont worry about it too much, most people on here are being anal to prove their knowledge rather than address the original question.

Just make sure what ever it was they asked you to do (BT) is now disabled and then you can go surf happy.

Cheers

Jofm5, that's a rather unkind remark, whoever it is addressed to.

If to me, may I point out that it was you who introduced the topic of NAT, but got it wrong. I was merely ensuring that others who are not as technically gifted as you are weren't left with a false understanding of the subject.

Finally, I would much rather be thought anal while proving my knowledge than thought anything else while proving my ignorance.
