Default Problem with a fixed-IP address in the LAN

I have a wired LAN and router with integrated switch.
The network is configured as peer-to-peer windows workgroup with many
different systems: WinXP, NT4, Win2000, Win95 and Win98SE.

The router offers DHCP featu thus I have configured some PCs in order
to get automatically the IP address, some other PCs must have instead a
fixed IP. Well till now all work fine.

I have now a Win98SE notebook: it works in the LAN only if I set "Obtain
an IP address automatically".
On the other hand if I set "Specify an IP address" and give a compatible
address I cannot access shared resource in the LAN. I can see the are PC
of the LAN in explorer "network neighborhood", but if I click on the
PC-name then I get no access. Moreover from a DOS box I cannot ping the
other PCs.

I tried changing the IP address (using always free addresses), but I got
no results. In my LAN I have other win95 and win98 PCs with fixed
IP-address. I repeated for this notebook the same network configuration
as for those Win9x PCs, but i do not understand why it does work only
with automatic IP and not with fixed IP-Address.

Any suggestion?

Thank you for replying.
Gio
