    How Many users can Window 98 handle?

    I am using a Windows 98 machine as a file server, the reason is because it is my understanding Win98 does not have a 10 user limite like Windows Pro and XP Pro. My question is, how can I determine the work-load on the machine? How many users can a P3 with 256mg ram using win98 handle, if it...

    My Host is down, their Phone # gone, where do I turn???

    This is the response I got, I'm still confused where to turn... sigh If the domain is registered to your ISP, then even the sponsoring registrar cannot help (check for sponsoring registrar at www.internic.com ). But if you have any correspondence from your ISP confirming that they had received...

    My Host is down, their Phone # gone, where do I turn???

    Yah, I tried calling all the numbers listed, and disconnected, I even went as far as looking up his name in the yellow pages/phone book... I found a phone number that matched his name & address but that also is disconnected.

    Unable to find computer by Host Name, only by IP

    Well, typicaly we do not use Win 98 machines, but our company will not authorize a Windows 2k Server, so the only way I know/knew to get around the 10user limit that Windows 2k/XP has is to use Windows 98... I've been using it as a simple file server (20-30 users) for months and until recently...

    DOH, I think I forget to mention that this PC is running Windows 98, Unless I'm missing it I don't think NBSTAT is a win98 command??

    Unable to find computer by Host Name, only by IP

    Thanks! I'll give this a try, This looks like the solution, Do you know what would cause a Win 98 machine to be kicked out of the domain, or for its NetBIOS machine name to droped from the routing tables?
