When using (no quotes) "ipconfig /flushdns", I get a message saying that the "Function failed during execution." Any thoughts as to why, or what could be done?

I need to set up a server because I need to provide on-line space for streamed showreels for actors. Unfortunately I don't know the first thing about servers. I searched on the net for information, but all I get is either a monthly prices, or something that looks like a pc but not quite. Is a server something you run from home or is it something virtual you buy (a bit like a domain)? I would really appreciate if you knew where to get informtion about servers for beginners. Thanks.

Ok, Hubby's boss gave him a Dell desktop PC (tower, keybrd, HUGE monitor, etc..) it runs on Win 98 & we did get the reinstall CDs, etc... so that's not an issue.

I have my laptop set up with my PC card to run wirelessly off the router. now this HUGE old Dell doesn't have built in wireless, or anything, but it has USB ports (no PCMCIA slot either! or I wouldn't be so worried)... now I am about to send my laptop out for a few weeks and I thought it would be a great time to set up the Dell. I want to go wireless and very very cheap on any type of adapter. I must go wireless though. no other option for location 1 story down from the wireless router.

so what is the fastest CHEAPEST way to go? AND I don't know if it's Win98 or 98SE --- and some say down to SE and I guess that would mean 98 reg. does work?? I know nothing about 98 anymore... I went from 95 to ME and then XP Pro.

**** also - can I network the old dell w/my XP PRO laptop? will they be able to talk ?????

Ok, I have DSL, all set up. On the DSL router it has words and then little lights next to it.

Power-lighten up
ethernet-lighten up
usb-not lighten up
DSL-lighten up
internet-Lighten up

The brand of this router is Westell. I have an e-machine desktop. I also have this blue cord that came with my computer. Could that be of any help?

So how does the wi-fi come on?

Currently I have a desktop computer hardwired to the router and my laptop connected wirelessly. I have no problems sharing the internet connection, but I'm having trouble sharing the files between the computers and a printer. The printer is installed on the desktop, and I tried to run a network wisard on my laptop to find the printer but it won't. I did mark the printer as shared. Can you send a print job to a networked printer wirelessly without a printserver? And I want to be able to share all files betwwen both computers with no restrictions both ways, but I find I can only share some... Not sure what to do now??

Hello
Last night my housemate and I set up our wireless net work.
he has a MAC and brought a Mac airport wireless router.
I have a dell and a universal wireless adaptor plugged in the back.
My PC could see the network but would not connect and said that it needed to configure.
WHAT THE Hell do I do- and what is a net work key, and what do I need to configure so my computer connects to the network.
Help me or I may throw it all out of the window.
If this helps its 128 bit, 802.1 network and all that

THANKS X
