Probably a stupid router question.

OK here goes, I received a WebRamp 200i Analog 56K Router w/hub + modem. When I received the unit the software said win/98 & NT.

I have 2 win/2000 computers set up NTSF. Do I dare install it to see if it will works

I want to set up a small office network and dial-upis my only option.

Also I do have a win/98 computer that I could use in the network .

Any sugestions. Will any of this work togeather

Thanks for any help !!!:confused:

Win2000 as well as XP are based on the winNT platform, should work on the two win2000 machines, as well as with the 98 one, I would say try it and see :)

I agree with Redfallon. Since it's analog for 56k, it's possible that the software was written before the 2000 and XP releases so that's why they weren't included in the compatability... thing.

And remember, there are no stupid router questions. Just stupid routers. That's why God made bricks.

Chances are that all you need to configure it anyway is a web browser - so the OS would be a moot point.

Thanks for the posts. My 2 win 2000 are on ebay auctions full time. That is the reason that I am gunshy with new software. I have a tray in my old win/98 that I can put in a old 2000 hard drive.. I will install on that and see what I need to do before any install on my good machines.

glc are you saying that I have to give up Mozilla to use this router. Maby I did not understand your post.

Seems to me Mozilla is a web browser.

Most routers have a small webserver built in for configuration. You would browse to the router's internal IP address. If not, a lot of older routers can be accessed by Telnet or with an old school serial cable and a terminal program (Hyperterminal would work fine). All I meant was you may not have to install *any* software to set it up.

Once the router is configured, you won't have to worry about anything, it will just use TCP/IP with any OS on the planet that's capable of using it.
