Hmm. It's been my experience that the SonicWall web management has been
flaky. It does vary with the SonicWall firmware, though: since you have
a Win98 machine around, you could try patching it.

On the other hand, I've found that SonicWall make you jump through more
hoops than one might consider necessary to get the firmware: good luck!
