Unfortunately I failed setting up the PC-DC server using Xp if thats what you mean. I have never heard of anyone who has been successful. I have heard a lot of people getting on with 98.

There are other options. Do you have phone service in your home?

I'm gonna give it a go once I can get a junk PC to use. I have already downloaded the software it takes to do it. I have an external 56k modem ready to go.

Yes I do have a phone line, tried getting a broadband adapter but they're crazy expensive for some reason

i gave it a shot. i failed pretty bad too. keep in mind i use a PC-DC server now. i asked around and no one could figure out why xp wouldn't work. i was able to get the DC connected to my PC. but the PC would not send my DCs data in or out to the net. :roll:

I'm not sure what my problem was. There were too many variables and I have never heard of anyone getting Xp to work yet. It's a shame. I wonder why mterlouw made the guide for Xp also, did he actually get it working? :lol:
