Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
I have dusted off my HP 8760C Pavillion and reformatted and reloaded Win 98.
Then added Win 98SE. Prior to the reload I had it connected via Ethernet cable to my Linksys WRT610N network. It connected basically plug and play. However, the computer kept needing to be rebooted so I did the reload. Now I can't get it connected to my LAN. I have tried to compare the Network Settings on my Dell XP desktop, but the language seems to be different between Win XP and Win 98SE. If someone could help me with the settings required to get this connected, I would be very greatful! Thank you! |

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
It may be easier to just remove the network settings on both the XP and 98
computer and start from scratch. HOWEVER, start with the 98 computer first, before messing the XP/VISTA/other box{es} up. First check firewall settings on the system boxes to see if the IP range for the local network is included and what its range is. Disable Anti-virus and firewalls [after removing any Internet connection/device from the network]. THEN check to see if the 98 box is in that IP range. Make sure you are using the SAME workgroup throughout the network AND that the network ALLOWS connection from the 98 system. Make sure the 98 system has Microsoft Networking installed and TCP/IP protocol. Make sure that if dynamic ranges are used [assigned from a router or server] that the 98 box is set [in Network SettingsTCP/IP settings] to receive from the network. Once the 98 system is in the local network range and you have checked the above, reset [power down and restart after a few minutes] the network controller/router and the computers [unless a major network], start the modem and/or modem/router first then the computers, and see if it is found. IF a large network, release and refresh the IP on the computers. Try pinging the other computers; then ping a known Internet ping returning address like Google's [after re-enabling the firewalls and other disabled apps].

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
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 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. Martha "MEB" wrote: It may be easier to just remove the network settings on both the XP and 98 computer and start from scratch.

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
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!
