39723 2002-03-19 01:53:00 I have just upgraded to WinXP from Win98SE and now have a dual boot system. Whilst I am getting to grips with XP I have two small problems that someone might be able to help me with.

1. The Numlock. Works perfectly on Win98SE as it is correctly configured in the BIOS. However, when I boot into XP, Numlock doesn't work. I have to use the keyboard. Anyone know how I can configure XP to do this automatically when I boot into XP?

2. Internet connection. I believe that I have set every thing up correctly but I cannot log onto Xtra. Thinking about it, I have probably not got the Domain name correct. Can anyone advise me what the correct Domain Name is as I do not wish to hold others up by ringing the Xtra helpdesk. Would it be just Xtra or xtra.co.nz if either?

Bryan.

NT based OS start with the numluck off. To change this have a look at Microsoft support article Q315468

Xtra does not need a domain ... if you set a domain you will not be able to log in .... this option is only for NT based domains.
