Well, it turned out that Windows FLP does not support DUN. I ended up installing Windows XP using Nlite. Be sure you include modem support or otherwise PdaNet will not work.

I know this is old, but epic nonetheless.

This OS is the greatest Microsoft has ever designed. It gave my aging old Pentium 3 with 256 MB of exotic old Ram back its life ( before I knew of FLP it was only possible to run 98SE or a tweaked 2000 at good speed ). Now I have a fully up to date XPSP3-clone, IE7 and even the Mediaplayer 11 running on it like a dream. All of my older games like Sims,FS 98,Midtown Madness, yes even Rise of Nations and AOE2 are working.

It is unbelievable - I used a normal XP Home and it ran ..well it ran somehow ok, after putting SP2 on it and a virus scanner it was unusable slow.

BTW : Windows Defender and Avast Home 4.8 are working on FLP as my Securityguards while surfing with IE7 ( 8 uses too much ram for me ) -- all in 256MB of Ram, were stock XP would crawl along like a lame duck..

Everybody should use it and openly admit that there is a need and a market for it, so MS is forced to sell it and do away with the Vista crap or with the ridiculous statement that it is only for corporations. There are so many people that are forced to use old or extremely cheap pcs due to economical reasons and being on a tightest budget.

Around 50 Euro or so I would happily invest in a legit FLP disc if it was available.

ASUS eeePC has really helped our business. The very best. The more I use it, the more it impresses me.

FLP only makes sense if Ram and diskspace is limited. ON systems with only 64-256 MB Ram you WILL notice a drastic difference. FLP has the same specs like XP , but a native/”Normal XP will behave extremely slow where FLP does not. With 2Gigs you can run anything, including Vista or Seven, so there is no need to install a modded XP ( which FLP is ).

Since FLP is based upon the Professional Edition of XPSP2, you can use all the nifty tools like GPEDIT.MSC and SECPOL.MSC to do whatever tweaking and security restrictions options you like.

YOu don't need any third party “TWeaker” or “Tuner”. its all included in XP/FLP. Just a bit hidden

To boost XP/FLPs performance even more, you should go into gpedit.msc, administrative templates and disable “Application Compatibility” and the Assistant completely. After that your XP will fly, because it no longer probes your exes if they were meant to run on 98 .. todays apps are all developed for 2000/XP so there should no risk.

YOu can even completely disable the 16bit and MSDOS-subsystem, but some older installers use it.. worth a try maybe. Completey turn off Systemrestore will add speed,too as well as preventing WMPlayers video accelaration and hundred tweaks more.

for security sake you can modify all the “named pipes” and “admin shares” in secpol.msc to be blank and forbid remote control,terminal services and so on. The need for Ctrl-alt-delete can be turned off, as well as the welcome screen in favor of the NT-Logon.

FLP is an amzing piece of OS. My old Pentium3/256MB machine lives on with it in its original configuration. Otherwise it could only run XP pre-SP2 at top speed. SP2 was the showstopper for my PC.
With FLP i am back on track with sp3 at more speed with XPrtm..

Advice : If speed matters then do not upgrade to IE7 or 8 ! slows down and eats Ram, especially IE8 is a Ram-monster. For safe and modern surfing I recommend Opera, fast and Ram-friendly.

A shame that MS makes us all going illegal for not selling this retail.
