NIC can ping, but Win 98 can't access Internet and other TCPIP apps?!?!
Hi,
I have a Win98SE machine that has been working fine for years. Yesterday, it couldn't print to IP printers, couldn't access the Internet from a browser (not even by IP address), but could ping and resolve IP addresses from a command prompt, and could still copy files to mapped drives. I first tried to uninstall and reinstall TCPIP and the NIC driver, but that didn't work. I even disabled the onboard NIC, and then added a PCI NIC, but I'm getting the same thing. I ran file system checker, and all versions seemed OK. I ran Symantec Antivirus, but nothing was found. I've never seen anything like this! Normally a NIC works or doesn't. Can you think of anything else I can try before I resort to formatting and reloading everything? Thanks. -- Kent Iler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please CC: all replies via e-mail Remove .NOSPAM from e-mail address |

This is the strangest thing. We have an office with 7
computers. 2 have 98SE, 1 has ME and the others have XP. The 98SE and the ME machines all experienced this same problem YESTERDAY at the same time. It was as if something had taken over control of the network connection and was over riding the IP and DHCP settings. The only way we could get aroound this was to set a static IP and the associated settings. This is a patch for sure but I would really like to hear from someone who knows what happened here. -----Original Message----- Hi, I have a Win98SE machine that has been working fine for years.
