How to open up a TCP port on Windows 98 SE?

Myke
I have a Windows 98 SE machine on my network which we cannot upgrade to XP at the moment, but that is outside of this issue. We recently changed domain controllers and have delegated it to be the primary server for our SAV system.

PCI Multimedia Audio Device Driver..

Wins98Chica
The yellow horn that loads on the taskbar disappeared, and I'm not too sure why. Now it's original dll files are getting errors, and sound doesn't work for me anymore. I tried up them, but they ask for a Windows 98 Second Edition CD, which I don't have and doubt I have ever had in the past.

System is a Dell Dimension XPS R400. It's been driving me crazy for 5 days & I really feel like hurting it, hurting it real bad. Anyway, I cannot get Windoze to complete an installation. I get to the very last reboot (well past the serial key entry) when the installer reboots the system.
