Wroing Subnet Mask
I have a PC running Win 98 SE, after rebuilding it due to replacement of a
hard drive. Everything worked fine until I receive an automatic update message asking me to install the update. I followed the instructions and installed the updates. Now, I found out that I can't connect to my network. After some digging and found out that my subnet mask picked up is 255.0.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0. I check my router settings and they are connected. I connected a laptop to the SAME PC network cable, it was assigned the correct IP address and subnet mask. As soon as I reconnect the network cable to this pc and performed an ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew_all and still seeing the 255.0.0.0 netmask. Can someone please help me by suggesting as how to resolve this problem ? Thanks in advance. |
