unable to change gateway address for win98 and ME
Hello,
I am currently having a problem changing the win98 and ME to use a new gateway address. I've already manually entered the new gateway address in the properties of "TCP/IP" for both machines. However, after restarting the system, the ipconfig still shows it using the old gateway. I have also tried to release and renew the settings using ipconfig, but it remains unchanged. Is there another way to force tcp/ip to recognize the new gateway address? or is my settings not correct? Please help. Thanks current settings: -DHCP enabled -gateway: entered new gateway address 192.168.1.123 -in ipconfig, it shows the old gateway address 192.168.1.1 -both gateways are currently functional & in use |

Then click OK. I'm curious: why are you manually entering a gateway address when the computer gets its IP address from DHCP? -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

I have clicked add and OK (restart also), but problem persisted.
initially, we only have one DHCP server and one gateway. but as our remote site machines increased, the internet line starts to have traffic jam and slows down the internet services in the main office. We resolved this by installing a new internet line with a new gateway (now we have one DHCP server and 2 gateways). we were told that, to use the new line, we simply add the new gateway address to the TCP/IP properties with all other settings unchanged. This works fine with win2000 and XP systems, but somehow, problems occurs to win98 and ME machines only. So, what I have now is the new gateway address added to in the TCP/IP properties tab and in ipconfig, it shows the old gateway address.
