uses TCP/IP, which I'm not sure about(since it was only about sharing
resources in a peer-to-peer network and used it's own network
protocol). Does this client has Winsock 2.0 TCP/IP installed as a
protocol in Win98(not Lantastic)? And, maybe entering the appropriate
entry in Windows Hosts file, this file can be found somewhere(maybe a
sub-folder) in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
