The 98SE has two adapters - the one for the internet is
TCP/IP Dial-up adapter - the one for the wireless system
is TCP/IP Linksys Wireless - G USB Network Adapter. When
both are set to obtain an IP address automaticially, I can
use internet explorer and outlook express, but the network
does not work. When the dial-up is set to automatic and
the wireless is set to Specify an IP address, 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0, the network works, I can connect to the ISP
but internet explorer says pages cannot be displayed and
Outlook express cannot find the host.
I am new at this and do not understand the remainder of
your instructions. Thanks

I am using linksys WUSB54G network adapters in a peer to

ISP server requires an automatic assigned address. I

can
do this on the XP but it appears to be mutually

exclusive
on the 98SE machine. When I make the change in control
panel / network / TCP/IP wireless it also applied to the
ISP connection. How can I setup both a specified and
automated IP address on the 98SE?


How many network adapters does the 98SE computer have?

There's a
wireless adapter for the peer network. What adapter does

the ISP
connection use?

Each network adapter has its own TCP/IP configuration,

and changes to
one adapter don't affect another adapter.

To help others understand the situation, please reply in

the news
group with a copy of the 98SE TCP/IP configuration. Open

a command
prompt window, enter this line:

ipconfig /all ipconfig.txt

and copy/paste the contents of the "ipconfig.txt" file

into the
message.
