Comment: this may be a dumb question but anyway.. I'm thinking of buying a used computer that has windows 2000. Is windows 2000 broadband capable? Will it have any problems with my router?
thanks all

Reply: (edit )Probably a blond moment (although it's mostly grey nowadays), you are right it was NT4 back then.
Updated to 2kPro as soon as it came out and never looked back.
