No, the netmask is the right one, as in all other PCs of the LAN.



When using a specific IP address ..do you specify DNS and Gateway also ?




No, normally not, because in all other PCs I do not set DNS and
Gateway if do not need internet connection and they still work in the
LAN.

For those PCs with specific IP where I need an internet connection I
set the gateway as the IP of the router and the two DNS addresses
provided by my internet provider.


From the information you have provided, it seems it should work.

Check that your router has the latest firmware. I suspect it is buggy.

.... that is, of course, unless there's a problem with the Windows
installation. :-)

The router was already updated to the last firmware. Anyway it has never
given problem for all otehr PCs.

The Win98SE installation is a clean one, I have installed the OS from
the OEM-Win98SE installation disc and updated with all last patches.

Your settings all look good them. I've got nothing more I can add but when
you solve this, please make sure you let us all know what the solution was.

BTW, I don't think it was clear whether another PC could ping your problem
PC. Can it? And if so, could the second PC use resources on the problem
PC?

No, at moment I have no solution.
The notebook works fine when I let assign the IP automatically, but no
chance with fixed-IP.

NO, no PC can ping the problem notebokk.
ANd from the problem notebook I cannot ping the other PCs: I can just
ping the notebook itsself when I ping its addres (in this case works, of
course)

I'll try in the next days with a WLAN adapter....
