Server
Can I run a server from my home for mp3's, pictures, web pages, etc... for my family with Windows 98 being the OS? I read somewhere that you can use 98 for a server OS. I have a AMD 1GHz, 256SDRAM, 30 GIG, and so on. Thanks, PYRO

You can, is it recommended, probably not. There is the personal web server built into Win98 (not sure if it's just SE or FE) that works quite well, but with all of the complaits about security issues in Win9x, it would just be adding one more hole.

you can serve web pages from a SMB share, all you have to do is adjust to using UNC pathnames instead of using hostnames or FQDNs in your links to local resources.
if you use PWS for http requests, look in the bindings section of your Internet connected network interface's TCP/IP properties and see if you can unbind it, this should resolve any security issues, if it lets you. sorry, don't know for sure if you can with PWS, don't care to know much about it at all. |
