WI-FI Problem

by Cletus29 Nov 17, 2004 4:22AM PST

XP Home Dell 4600 2.4G cpu, 256Mb ram
Win98
Netgear Router and PCI card in the Win98
Roadrunner cable Free Zone Zlarm in the Win98

Everything works---finally. However the ZA in the Win98 alarms very often saying "The firewall has blocked internet access to your computer (NetBios Name) from 192.168.0.1 (UDP Port 2510).

This address is that of the 802.11b wireless router---I don't understand what is happening or how to make the alarms stop.

Suggestions/insight?

Also the XP throughputs at about 2.2MB while the Win98 witha 486 celeron only does about 400KB. Is this ballpark correcr?

Thanks

Documented. I read it's for fjappmgrbulk, fjappmgrbulk which is for a multicast UDP multimedia application.

It's a way of tossing a video or other packets of data to many machines at once. I can't know what people run on their machines so I can't pinpoint what application asked to be sent such a stream.

Beats me. This win98 machine was a throw away---so loaded with malware that the owner gave up on it. It seems reasonably clean now, but I may have missed something.

Is there any operational impact caused by ZA jumping in frequently to block this thing. If not I will just add it to a long list of things that I must suffer---

Thanks

That sort of explains it.
