Can't connect to the interent after reinstalling Windows
We have a small three computer network. My son was having big problems
with his computer so I reinstalled Windows 98se on his computer. Everything went fine....except that he can't connect to the Internet. I checked all of his settings and all of his hardware and everything seems to be configured right. I can't find any errors. He just can't connect. However, he can see the other computers on the network and they can see him...and share files. Any ideas? Sharon |

I checked that already and everything seems to be in order. I can also ping the internet and the router successfully from his computer. |

Can't connect to the interent after reinstalling Windows
When I reloaded 98SE, the Firewall had to be reset to accept Windows etc.
Basically there was a "disconnect" between the new windows installation and the firewall. The firewall showed all the correct settings but the "new" installation required them to be "installed" again. I think the ping command uses DOS, so try resetting/upgrading the router to accept the Windows 98 software again. Alan "sharonf" wrote in message ...
