Internet Connection Problem
Hi,
We wiped our old Dell XPS m200s clean and re-installed Windows 98 SE today. Now we cannot connect to the internet. The computer connects to a LAN via a PCI NIC card. Upstairs, we have an Actiontec DSL router that is connected to a switch. The switch is connected to two computers upstairs and, through a cable, to a switch downstairs. The computer in question is connected to the downstairs switch as is another downstairs computer. The 'other downstairs computer' runs Win2K and can connect to the internet just fine. By fiddling with the Internet Explorer settings, my husband was able to get connected for just one IE session but then it went dead. He used it to download and install AVG Anti-Virus. In trying to get the thing to work, I have changed all the TCP-IP settings to just about every possible combination of settings. I have unhooked the NIC card from the downstairs switch and connected it directly to the cable coming from the upstairs switch (the one that is directly connected to the DSL router) and that changed nothing. Of the 3 computers that can now access the internet, 2 run Win2K and their DNS settings call for obtaining a server automatically. The other one runs WinXP Pro and specifies IP address of the DNS server. Thanks for any ideas. Puangpen |
