Road Runner customers who use Windows 95 and 98 may be experiencing an issue with connectivity due to a Y2K problem in the Windows 95 and 98 Operating Systems.

Symptoms of this issue include a loss of connection, where rebooting restores service. This is caused by a glitch in the way that dates are read by Windows after 03/01/2000. The Windows Y2K patches will solve these issues. PLEASE NOTE: According to Microsoft, if you find that need to reinstall Windows 95/98 in the future, or reinstall/MODIFY any networking components, this patch may need to be reinstalled.

Windows 95 and 98 have separate fixes for the issue. Please click here for information on how to fix the issue in Windows 95, and click here for information on how to fix the issue in Windows 98.
