Its possible that the creator of Napster made getting past a firewall a 
"feature". It could help users setup an mp3 server w/o adminitstration 
knowing. Also, I do believe that the rule of thumb for Napster is "You 
download it, you share it". Your email did not mention that the files the 
users are seeing and downloading are specific files -- mp3 files that are 
shared by Napster. People who are not familiar with Napster may interpret 
your statement "people from the internet can see and download my files on 
win98." as everyone being able to access C:\
If that is indeed the case -- that people can see all of C:\, check your 
settings in Napster.

Good luck,
Chrissy
