So you got the other issues corrected then?
[reference: this group's query - WinFE]
What did you do to correct those issues?
You might want to check this and run through the various settings to
ensure you have configured the network correctly:
Configuring Windows 2000 Professional to Work in a Peer-to-Peer Workgroup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q258717/
There are some work-arounds if you have other issues, though you should
attempt to use the MS suggested methods FIRST.
You may also want to look through some of these as they discuss not
only dsclient, but also various networking issues.:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=dsclient+for+Windows+98&x=0&y=0&catalog=LCID%3D1033&mode=r
or use the site for other specifics as might be involved.
Readers should note this network apparently consists of Win2K, XP, and
*Win98FE* via a network router connection.

Before you do that, use Windows Update to update the WinFE computer
which you previously indicated was at base "re-installed" level [you
need at least IE5.1 installed to access the site, IE5.5 can reduce the
necessary downloads].
You can find IE5.5 (or others) on evolt:

The links I provided previously in the other discussion and in this
discussion should help, AFTER updating, to resolve your issues.

No it doesn't [or didn't]. It is *recommended* to use IE6 [which was
not recommended for installation in Win98FE], as of my last test cycle
[about three months now] it still can be accessed with IE5.1 and
functions, though the FIRST update is/was to IE5.5 and its updates.

Which one? In one installation the version IS IE6 since I used the
Security Updates CD during installation. in another its IE5.1 [manually
updated], in another its IE5.5 updated online... so YOURS may be IE6,
that does not mean it was required, just what you did.
Now the other problem for winFE is still ongoing....I have ie6.0 installed,
but Ido not have a firewall or antivirus program that will work on win98FE.
I'm using Kaspersky on the win 2000 and xp ccomputers. Can anyone recommend
some goog software for win98 (before I update)?
mc
Download Kerio PFW 2.1.5 and one of the rule sets for it. It should
work on Win98FE and the rule set should help with initial usage, though
you may not need the rule set if you are using the router for Internet
access so your main concern would be the local network and its
settings/restrictions.
You will likely need to use the Win2k or XP to scan for malware on the
Win98FE computer. SE still has a few, but those are diminishing.
You can try these:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=Kerio+PF+2.1.5
SpywareGuard 2.2 and SpywareBlaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
SpyBot-Search & Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html
I'm not sure but this MAY support FE in an OLDER version [available on
the site]
Spyware Terminator
http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Avast, though the def updates end this year and no updates to the 4.8
engine [5.0 for NT only].
ClamAV via clamwin.
Oh, okay, so you now have a new system Win98SE added or was it the
former WinFE that you updated?
If not then try the system updates for Win98FE first to obtain the
various fixes that were offered. Then work on the network issue.
Did you chick IE all we need to Know from you?

Having difficulty reading, I advised EXACTLY what I had.
The SpywareGuard does cause some AV to report it as malware because it
works as a TSR in the system and may contain code indicators. As for
Major Geeks, at one time the site or maybe some advertising] TRIED to
use a font injection, though that was several years ago unless something
new is going on. They are/were associated with tribalfusion, and I would
imagine hundreds of thousands of users have downloaded files from there.
There are quite a few programmers who ONLY offer their software on that
site since it has so many visitors and a long reputation for clean
software. I can't vouch for them so...
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/majorgeeks.com
We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems.
http://www.UnmaskParasites.com/security-report/?page=majorgeeks.com
Looking at the source for the page shows google links and LOTS of JAVA,
some off-site links and direct pulls, and.. nothing overly suspicious.
Its an old program that worked as protection against .exe, cab, some
other issues, though not updated for years, so you could probably avoid
its installation.
So what was the supposed trojan?

No Win98 comes "out of the box" with:
Here's a chart style.
IE Version Shipped With
1.0 Win 95 PLUS pack (not part of Win95 by default)
2.0 Win NT4
3.0 Win 95 OSR2
4.0 Win 98
5.0 Win 98 SE and Win 2000
5.5 Win Millennium Edition (ME)
6.0 Win XP Home/Pro
7.0 VISTA
8.0 Windows 7
IE5.1 was the minimum [not IE5.0 base level which is what you get]
which used to function on WU. To have IE5.1 required you obtain or
already have the updates to bring it to that level in a new install.
WHY?
Likely to force users to install IE6 which was PLASTERED all over the
Internet and offered on almost every CD from suppliers of games and
other [during the Win98 support period AFTER IE6.0 was released]... the
site used to require only IE4 ,then IE5.0, then IE5.1.
I said - I have IE5.1, IE5.5, IE6.0 SP1 [in Win98SE].

Well, if it turns your crank, you could test it yourself via the evolt
browser link I provided and tell us what version it NOW requires verses
the IE5.1 it required as of a few months ago [though it did require Sun
JAVA installed].
Yeah, Kerio PF2 has a very small impact, about 1.8 running and fully
configured making it one of the smallest in resource usage, with none of
the resource hogging "extras", yet all of the benefits of a rules based
firewall. During "the days of Win98" it was used in conjunction with
DNSKong and a couple other small applications to strip, monitor and
filter TCP/IP and network access.
Glad to hear that the network is working now with the updates to
Win98FE, and thanks for posting back with the verification.
Any further needs or questions, just let us know.
Yes, the rule sets are becoming difficult to find; and yes, Sunbelt did
have control of TinyPF and Kerio.
You might try on dslreports for rule sets if they interest you.

NOTE: the new area for Kerio/Tiny and related questions has been moved to:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/security
You would be looking for and at Spunge, Shaolin and BlitzenZeus
rulesets, though again, with local networking behind a router, you may
want to configure your own for your particular needs.

While you're searching, I would also suggest looking at how a *HOSTS*
[which I forgot to mention for your layered security protection] file
can also be used to protect you; usable in ANY of your systems.
