Internet connections
We have two 98 and one 98se boxes. Those 3 are in a work
group. The rest of our computers are in a domain. None of the three 98 boxes can ping the dns server (but can ping the gateway), but the 98se box can get on the internet. The other two can't. All 3 computer can access our network but not the two 98 boxes can't access the internet. I've tried the ipconfig release/renew commands and still no luck. Please help. |
My understanding is that Win98 did not support ICS until SE was released.

The two 98's were able to use the internet at our old
location through our proxy server. Now at our new location we don't use the proxy server. So you're saying I need to upgrade these two to SE? Am I understanding correctly? -----Original Message----- My understanding is that Win98 did not support ICS until SE was released. -- Hyperlinks are used to ensure advice remains current _______________________________________ Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/ Tony Sengsourya wrote: We have two 98 and one 98se boxes.

Ok, 'now' you tell me that this is a 'new' location - obviously this also
means a 'new' network. Have you searched for an aberrant HOSTS file? -- _______________________________________ Hyperlinks used to ensure advice is current Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org wrote in message ...

No, I haven't searched any host files. I don't wouldn't
know what to look for. can you help me with this? So the here's the whole story with the 98 machines. we move to another location. as you guessed a new network was established also. There's a total of three 98's and one 98se. one of the 98's was a laptop that could access everything normally, just like the 98se. I just don't know why these two 98's are haveing problems. If there's any more info you need to you know or to clear things up. please let me know. i'm new at this. thanks for your support. -----Original Message----- Ok, 'now' you tell me that this is a 'new' location - obviously this also means a 'new' network.

A HOSTS file is a hidden file (with no extension) that will be in the
c:\windows directory. You can open it using Notepad and see what the contents are. When you find the HOSTS file on an affected machine, feel free to posts a copy of its contents to this thread. -- _______________________________________ Hyperlinks used to ensure advice is current Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org "Tony Sengsourya" wrote in message ...

All I found was this host file: hosts.sam
It's contents are as follows: ************************************************** *********** # Copyright (c) 1998 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP stack for Windows98 # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost ************************************************** *********** I check the other 98 and 98se that can access the internet.

Its more widespread than just checking the hosts file. Good luck. This is controlled by file type. Go to My Computer, View, Folder Options, File Type (or Control Panel, Folder Options depending on your operating system). Search for the affected file type, highlight it and select edit (or advanced). Turn on the option to confirm open after download.
