Thanx for the help.
As for number 1, I have Fdisk'ed, partitioned, formated, and reinstalled windows,
and it continues to occur. I will try and find another copy of windows 98SE, so I can
try that again, although probably just re install them like you suggested.
As for number 2, they claim, and the site says, there is no encryption. The only
filtering they are using is MAC filtering. And again, they have confirmed time and
time again that the MAC addresses are correct.
Again, thanx for the information, and please, keep it coming.
Michael
