ugh. blech. i hate this crap.
ok, so i have two computers running win 98 second edition.
computer 1 "bill" is connected to the net via cable.
computer 2 "me" is connected to "bill" peer to peer i
guess. "me" has no real problems other than typical
spyware, virus, and user errors. wish i was perfect. "me"
can access the net just fine, through "bill".
when attempting to access the net, "bill" on the other
hand gets this nasty frigin' error bright red screen with
white writing in a browser window "401 Authorization
Required This server could not verify that you are
authorized to access. Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g. bad password) or your browser doesn't
understand how to supply the credentials required."
here's the thing: i can ping sites from "bill" and also
send and receive email via outlook express. this problem
started about 2 or 3 months ago, and i occasionally look
at it to see if i can fix it, but so far, no go. i
recently installed a mcafee firewall (which of course does
not work because it cannot connect to the net)
anyone want to give me some basic things to check to
further diagnose what the problem may be?
thanks!
