Upstream patch for Win98

It was given to me by an @Home tech and it was written by M$. What it does and what it resolves is beyond me, but was told it resolves some minor bug in Win98.
I tried to find out more about it, even searched M$ for references to it but so far have come up with nothing."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

This patch installs a newer version of the file VTCP.386, a virtual TCP/IP driver. This supposedly re-initializes the netbios over tcp/ip thru the stack. Apparently this would mean that it's made for people using things like NAT32 to allow certain types of data transfers to be better facilitated from client systems to and thru the server.

So this improves Internet sharing.
I frequently have problems getting completed SETI clients to upload automatically. I get a server error (the same error message you get when SETI's servers are down), it retries every hour, but if it doesn't make it the first time, it's not going to make it when the SETI client retries. If I shut down and then reopen the client, it uploads without a problem.
This never happens on my "Wingate server," only on the clients. It's definitely and Internet sharing issue.
I'm wondering now if I should install the patch on both my server and clients.
