Hello every1!!
OK...I'm trying 2 set up my network in Windowqs 3.1...but I have a problem, I'm in the Microsoft TCP/IP Configuration, and I'm using another driver than my network card's...but I dont care...my problem is that I cant change my Subnet Mask!! :(
It is 248.0.0.0, but it doesnt let me change it!! :@
It says "You should not change the default 255 in the Subnet Mask. Only fields whose defaults are zeros can be changed."
Why cant I change it?!!
Thanx!! ;)

PS:
Is there a Win3.1 Internet tutorial that u can give me?? once I saw a really good one, but I lost the URL...:(
I remember it had big letters on the top of the page...
Thanx!! ;)
