hi group

Particularily, I want to have automatic configurations
only because it is the more rapid solution,

but now I have a Win98 that automatic
config is no working anymore, Win98 doesn't connect
to internet, but I shall no use, at least by now
non auto configurations.

Perhaps I modified some config values
I have unistalled all, and installed again

Client for Microsoft Networks
Ethernet controller
TCP IP and, in this I have

- obtain IP automatically
- use DHCP for WINS
- do not use DNS

thanks very much in advance,
Carlos.

Hi friends,

two 98 SE computers only configured to
adquire IP adresses automatically
can interact through a network ?

both machines have the same workgroup's name.

thanks very much in advance,
Carlos.

Yes. The computers will automatically assign themselves private IP
addresses in the 169.254.x.x range after waiting for DHCP requests to
time out at startup.

To make startup faster, assign them static IP addresses in one of
these ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
