I changed the IP to 192.168.1.105 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and it
still did not connect to the internet. I tried both Firefox and Internet
Explorer.

Could some of the other settings need to be changed now that the IP/subnet
mask have been changed.

Under properties for the adapter HP EN1207 TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Adapter, Advanced tab, it shows Network Address Not present. Is that what it
should be?

Thanks!

| MEB,
| Thank you for your suggestions. I'm not sure I understand about the IP
| addresses as they relate to the Firewall(s). But this is what I have. I
| have a Linksys WRT610N Wireless Router. Connected to it a Vista Laptop
| (wireless), Dell XP hardwired, and hopefully the Win 98SE HP hardwired (if
I
| can get it figured out). The Linksys has a firewall that is enabled for
SPI
| Firewall Protection. I also use Trend Micro Internet Security which has a
| firewall enabled. But this was all working ok and my Win 98SE computer
was
| connected just fine to my LAN (via Ethernet Cable). I only did the Win 98
| reformat and reload because the system kept needing rebooting. It is only
| after the reformat that I have not been able to get my settings correct to
| connect it to the LAN. My Vista and XP computers are working fine on the
| Network.
|
| On my Win98SE, the TCP/IP Properties show:
| DNS Configuration Disabled
| Gateway Blank
| WINS Configuration Disabled
| IP Address Obtain automatically
| Bindings to:
| Client for Microsoft Networks
| File and print sharing for Microsoft Networks
| Microsoft Family Logon
|
| Advanced Tab
| Allow binding to ATM Yes
| Net Bios Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP is checked in a gray box.
|
| My adapter is HP EN1207 TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
| Binding to:
| 3COM Diagnostic
| NetBEUI
| TCP/IP
|
| Advanced tab:
| APM Wake Up Enabled
| Early Tx Threshold 10
| Link speed/duplex Auto
| Link Wake up Enable
| IP not present
|
| Belarc IP for Laptop is 192.168.1.102 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
| Belarc IP for XP is 192.168.1.100 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
| Belarc IP for Win 98 is 169.254.141.3 with Subnet mask 255.255.0.0

Okay. The IP for Win98 is out of range for your network.
It should be somewhere in the 192.168.1.* range if its hardwired, try making
it 192.168.1.106 or 103 or 10*, anything in the range {not already used}.
Do this by going back into NetworkHP EN1207 TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Adapter - TCP/IP IP Address Obtain automatically, and change this to the
manual IP address {192.168.1.10* (something)} and subnet 255.255.255.0.
See if this works.

|
| In reading Microsoft TechNet Chapter 15, it says that all systems
connected
| to the same local network must have the same subnet mask.
|
| I had someone helping me on Thursday that set my Win 98SE IP to
192.168.5.1
| with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (in the TCP/IP properties). However this
| didn't fix the problem and I have since removed it.
|
| I hope this answers your questions. Thank you again for your help.

| Make sure that if dynamic ranges are used [assigned from a router or

| Once the 98 system is in the local network range and you have checked
the
