Windows 98 uses the FAT32 file system, while Windows 2000/XP also supports the NTFS file system. Which file system should I use?
Each file system has advantages and disadvantages to them, but we recommend the FAT32 method over the NTFS system. Using the NTFS system as your database can result in small data glitches.

With Windows 98 or 2000, Direct X 8.0 or better must be installed. Windows XP is supplied with Direct X 8.0.
Soundcard configurations and usable microphones differ depending on how many channels you use. Be sure to check your settings.

What can be done about dynamic IP?
Currently dynamic IP systems are more popular than fixed IP systems, including many of the ADSL and Cable modem systems, meaning that the IP address will change frequently.
