Hardware Compatibility Query

[michael]

Can I install and run successfully Windows 2000 on a Sony
PictureBook ("VAIO C1"), model PCG-C1X?

Also, I am having trouble connecting to websites on
Windows 98, currently installed on this model. I can make
the modem work and make a connection, but the Internet
Connection Wizard gave me failed connection message, even
though I heard the modem dial and connect. I configured a
connection myself, but I only see that a connection has
taken place, while no data seems to transmit successfully,
i.e., no pages load.

Thanks for any advice. Please include pertinent info in
the subject line, so that I can take your response out of
Spamblocker.

1.) Check here

2.) While dialed up, then from a command prompt;
ipconfig /all
and compare the result with what your ISP thinks you should have. Probably
missing or incorrect values for DNS server
