I'm using Win98/4.10.1998 w/ ICQ Version 99a Beta v.2.13 Build #1700

I could crash my ICQ webserver and read files remotely.  When I have tried
this on other computers, it only works some of the time, sometimes it
returns "Forbidden" when I try to crash it or d/l files

Well, my box was win 98, and the remote box I tested it against was
win 95.  Didn't have anyone running NT handy to test against.  However,
another person I corresponded with who was testing this did get it to
drop a 95 box, but not every time.  Did it every time for me; but there's
apparently other factors that contribute as well.

I try to test this on my NT box ( NT server 4.00.1381, Sevice pack 3 ) and
I
could not reproduce the error. I've used ICQ Version 99a Beta v.2.13 Build
1700. It would be beneficial if Ron Jarrell or Jan Vogelgesang, explained
the procedure that they carried out to arrive to the error detailedly.

Best regards, Jose.
