    (1) that does is not compatible with RJ-45 plugs, that network card still has the old plug compatible with a phone jack

    That’s a dialup modem, not a network card.

    If you can’t network and you can’t use a USB memory key then you do still have a couple alternatives:

    1) You could burn the data to CD.

    2) You could use a laplink cable and the laplink software. That’s if the software still exists and you can find a laplink cable.

    3) Alternatively, if it were me, I’d pull one of the drives out of the computer it’s in and I’d slave it into the other computer. Drag and drop the data from one drive to the other, then put the slaved drive back where it belongs.

    #3 is your best bet.

    It matters not how straight the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul.

  2. It's been awhile since I've cascaded routers, but I believe it goes something like this:************************************************************** Router/Network 1 - WAN: IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS all assigned by ISP. LAN: IP=192.168.1.1, Subnet Mask=255.255.255.0, DHCP Server=Up toRead more

    It’s been awhile since I’ve cascaded routers, but I believe it goes something like this:

    **************************************************************
    Router/Network 1 -
    WAN: IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS all assigned by ISP.
    LAN: IP=192.168.1.1, 
    Subnet Mask=255.255.255.0, 
    DHCP Server=Up to you. If yes, starting address 192.168.1.100, 
                                     ending address 192.168.1.150
    
    Hosts on Network 1:
    IP address=192.168.1.? (DHCP or static)
    Default Gateway=192.168.1.1
    DNS=192.168.1.1 (or ISP's DNS servers)
    **************************************************************
    Router 2 -
    WAN: IP=192.168.1.2, 
    Subnet Mask=255.255.255.0, 
    Default Gateway=192.168.1.1, 
    DNS Server=192.168.1.1
    
    LAN: IP=192.168.2.1, 
    Subnet Mask=255.255.255.0
    DHCP Server=Up to you. If yes, starting address 192.168.2.100, 
                                     ending address 192.168.2.150
    
    Hosts on Network 2:
    IP address=192.168.2.? (DHCP or static)
    Default Gateway=192.168.2.1
    DNS=192.168.2.1 (or ISP's DNS servers)
    **************************************************************
    

    Because router 2’s WAN port is connected to router 1’s LAN, it becomes the “gateway” for it’s LAN (192.168.2.*) to router 1’s LAN, much like router 1’s WAN port is connected to the ISP’s “LAN” (via cable modem, DSL, whatever), making router 1 the “gateway” for it’s LAN (192.168.1.*) to that network/internet (*.*.*.*).

    Because the two LANs are different networks (192.168.1.* and 192.168.2.*), subnetting rules will prevent the hosts on those different networks from seeing each other.

    Dr.ditrick,

    I take it that you found a post which describes the same problem as
    you are currently experiencing, and copied it here, without adding any
    of your own text, but then wrote a short description of your own and
    posted it in a separate thread. That often happens when people are
    first learning how to use forums. When you want to add a new post
    to an existing thread, first go into that thread, then use a Reply box in
    that thread, like I’m doing right now.

    The Grub screen is indeed part of a Linux operating system.

    Most likely you just need to learn how to use Grub.

    Did you have a working Windows system?

    Did you then try to install a Linux-based operating system, or run
    a Linux-based system from a removeable disk or memory card?

    Do you want to be able to access data that is on your computer,
    or do you just want to wipe everything out and start over with a
    fresh install of your operating system?

    If you had a working Windows system, and want to recover data,
    then you may need to check for malware. Others here will guide
    you through doing that.

    If you just want to wipe everything out and start over, do you have
    the operating system you want on removeable media, or is it stored
    (by the computer’s manufacturer) on a partition on the computer’s
    hard drive? Which operating system do you want to install?

    Wow, that’s a lot of processes running, and a lot of programs launching at start-up.

    For testing purposes, disable everything in your start-up, except anti-virus.

    To trim down your running processes, go to Black Viper’s XP Service Configuration page (for your installed service pack, e.g. SP1, SP2, or SP3) and set everything according to the “Safe” column on that page. This will disable a lot of unneeded services/processes from running in the background. This is one of the first things I do when setting up a new machine. Note, you’ll probably have a few that are not in his list, due to programs installed on your machine.

    Once you have the start-up items disabled and the services/processes trimmed down, try it out and see if it has helped. I’m sure it’ll at least boot quicker than before.

    After re-reading your original post, I realized that I missed the bit about not booting to the POST screen, after being shutdown awhile. This sounds to me like a CMOS battery problem. If you can enter the BIOS, are the drives listed, and is the date/time correct? If the battery is dead/dying, the CMOS loses data, resulting in Date/time setting back to factory and hardware (drives, RAM, CPU, etc.) needs to be detected again.This hardware detection is vital to the BIOS being able to POST. You may even find that your CPU is running at a lower speed, due to lost FSB settings.

    Please let us know if you found someone’s advice to be helpful.

    Have you read the manual? From what I can discern your router is an older model that doesn’t offer that facility – fortunately.. A similar post here in 2013 also confirms that.

    Many here will discourage using that “magic” wps button to setup the system. Apparently not a secure way to go.

    Better do it all the “olde fashioned way”.

    These links may help?

    The first link goes through the manual approah – does not use the wps button (because it doesn’t have one).

    Please, please don’t try to install a stand-alone 98 OS on that. You’re going to have problems finding drivers and the 4 gig of ram will be an initial problem.

    That particular error you’re getting means 98 install isn’t finding a cdrom. That’s because you likely have a SATA cd/dvd drive. The driver it’s loading is for IDE/atapi cdroms. Your PC can boot the 98 cd because the bios recognizes the sata drive but 98 doesn’t.

    It’s also likely you have a sata hard drive which 98 won’t see either.

    You have 2 practical choices–either install 98 in a VM setting within windows 7 or get an older PC from the P-III era and install 98 on that one.

    Turn on the computer and before windows starts to load, start tapping F8. A boot menu should come up. Choose ‘safe mode’. If the desktop comes up do a system restore choosing a date from just before you made the boo boo.

    If it doesn’t go to the desktop, reboot, F8 again and choose ‘safe mode, command prompt only’ and do the restore as described here:
