Hi Chuck,
I didn't run LSP - running programs like that which ask you to delete
various .dll files when you don't know what they do seems a receipe for
disaster!
I ran "netsh winsock reset catalog" on the XP host only.
I removed the proxy setting from IE on the Win98SE machine when I
realised that, whilst I could access the Web via Analog X Proxy, my
chances of getting email and FTP working using this mechanism were
zilch!
As of this morning, both machines can access the ADSL happily, W98SE
can still access the shared area of the XP machine, though still
showing a "funny" directory structure, but XP can't access the W98SE
machine. (Thank goodness for R/W CDs!)
others, it seems that whilst networking built into Win98SE might haveFrom my experience and, from reading postings on newsgroups & fora by
been rudimentary, at least it worked! When XP goes wrong it goes wrong
in a big big way - and not just networking either! Until the reinstall
of Win98SE on my machine overwrote the MBR, I was also running Suse
Linux on that machine and that worked quite happily with the old
network and was certainly more stable than either versions of Windows.
If I was using Linux all the time, I would have been inclined to make
that machine the host and do everything under Linux, but unfortunately
I have yet to find Linux equivalents for some of the Windows programs I
need to use.
But I will re-read your articles and persist. Many thanks for your
continued help. Your website is certainly the most informative of the
dozen or more that I have searched in a bid to sort this problem.

Sospiri
Hi Sospiri,
It's good that you are skeptical about LSPFix and its peers, but please read my
entire article. Many problems like yours are best resolved by one of those
products only. If one of those programs recommends deleting a .dll, and your
network is not working, you're going to have to trust that program. Create a
System Restore checkpoint, if you wish (and take a second checkpoint later, if
the problem is fixed).
