| 445663 | 2006-04-11 01:53:00 | if u have call waiting on ur phone line, will that interfere with xtra broadband? If it will how to u disable call waiting with Broadband? also does anyone know if the FREE broadband modem that comes with xtra(D-Link DSL 502T modem) supports Windows millenium as my old pc that i want broadband on has this? it says on their websites windows 98SE,windows 2000 and XP, but not win ME. Winme has support for usb so it shold work right? |

I'm not aware that external router/modems care what OS you are using, except that http browser is used to communicate with the router setup. What Xtra means probably is that those are the OS's that they support if you have problems. Eg, If I had problems with my Windows For Work Groups and broadband they wouldn't, or would not be able to give any help :) Just to add a bit, I can fire up DOS7 and the packet drivers for the NIC, start Arachne and browse the web via DOS, or more directly with DOS ftp commands, all through a Dynalink router. |

| 445666 | 2006-04-11 02:27:00 | Win ME is technically in the Window 9x family, so 98 would probably apply.. | godfather (25) | ||
| 445667 | 2006-04-11 02:33:00 | Drivers would only be used if the router is going to be connected to a USB port. As GF implies, all you need to know is how to make the settings required in Control Panel - Network for Windows ME, using Win98 as a guide, there could be micro differences between the 98 and ME. |
