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 192.168.1.1231
-in ipconfig, it shows the old gateway address 192.168.1.1
-both gateways are currently functional & in use


Be sure to click the Add button after entering the address in the "New
gateway" box. Then click OK.

I'm curious: why are you manually entering a gateway address when the
computer gets its IP address from DHCP?
