    I have done extensive work with this particular issue. The HotFix corrects it for Windows 98, and it can also be corrected for Windows 95.

    It will not work, however, on any other type of wifi, such as a home network, and it will also not work on an ethernet connection.

    If it won’t work n the cat-5/ethernet connection either then there are a possibly a couple of things to check first… Presumably you are referring to cat-5/ethernet connection with “your” home router?

    Look in Device Manager and see if there are any yellow exclamation marks showing in the Network Adapters “branch”. If so then start by resolving those…

    This link may help re’ Device Manager…

    http://tinyurl.com/2aotkyj

    That you can connect to other wifi (public) networks does suggest that the wifi adapter is OK; though possibly the cat-5/ethernet one isn’t. It may be the cat-5/ethernet adapter is simply “switched off” (disabled) on the laptop? Is there an icon in the system tray (bottom right) showing for the cat-5 adapter? There ought to be one for cat-5 and also the wifi adapter. If either is disabled/not working correctly often it will show as such. But again as you appear able to use wifi OK elsewhere, that adapter ought to show as OK in those locations, but not so “at home”.

    Check Device Manager and see what may or may not be showing there.

    Reboot the router and then see if you can connect to it via cat-5. IF not then “reset” the router. This will restore/reset the router setting to the default settings – as delivered.

    What make/model router do you have?

    SOP to create one or two backup admin accounts. Something to remember for the future.

    See if you can’t connect via MMC and loading the servers computer management plugin. see if you get access to users and groups

    Is this server behind a firewall/router?
    More likely being hacked at this point than malware/virus which is the first assault on the server.

    the closest you can get is vbscript, which is native to windows. You can write your own calculator using whatever degree of elaboration you have the patience for.
    here’s a simple one (calc.vbs):
    set con=wscript.stdin
    set xx=wscript.stdout
    set t=wscript.arguments
    op=t(1)
    one=t(0)
    two=t(2)
    select case op
    case “/”
    out=one/two
    case “+”
    out=one+two
    case “-“
    out=one-two
    case “*”
    out=one*two
    end select
    xx.writeline(out)
    end

    and call it like this (to capture the answer to a var):
    for /f %%a in (‘cscript /b calc.vbs 12.6 / 18.2’) do set xx=%%a
    echo %xx%
    ::—– end
    I was lazy and used separate arguments, so the spaces required between the numbers and operators.
    of course you can add as many other operators as you want:
    modulo, exponentiation, square roots, etc etc.
    I wish cscript could be compiled into .exe, but alas…
    i saw some for download but they were either “trials” or $$.

    You put the IP address in the Address Bar of Safari and it should bring up the configuration page.

    http://www.ehow.com/how_2196172_pin…

    The problem is you are probably not connected to the router. As stated above, you may not have your network card on the right subnet which could be fixed by setting your network card to…

    Address: 192.168.1.4
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

    or just set it to automatic (USING DHCP) so that the setting get put in automatically by the DHCP on your router.

    To test to see if this is the problem you would use a ping tool to see if you you are talking to the router.

    See the following link on how to configure a Mac NIC or get some one to help you…
