I am unable to get the winFE working though. When I choose obtain IP address automatically the ip # is way out of range (160.254.235.233 ), while the other computers are in the 192.168.1.103 range. I tried manually putting in an ip address and was able to see the icon in network, but no communicatio. Any ideas? mc Thanks for the response...............MEB The first question would be: What is the update status for the Win98FE computer? I,m not sure, this is the original disk that came with the packard bell computer? Hmm, okay for now, let's work with some other things first. The second would be: Was this once part of another network? No, this computer has only been assigned to one workgroup after installing a new hard drive Okay, that removes potentials of prior activities, unless you used a backup or image to place it on the drive. The new disk brings the question of updates status unless the backup/image was used, however if used, you may have some issues such as DNS hijack, HOSTS hijack, or some other issue IF it was a prior Internet used system. Did this computer or prior image/backup access the Internet without AV, a firewall [even if behind a router], and have you run anti-malware tools? The third would be: That happens to be a registered IP Organization: The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation NetHandle: NET-160-254-0-0-1 NetName: BNY1 NetRange: 160.254.0.0 - 160.254.255.255 Do you bank there or is this from some recycle store or elsewhere? No, when I attempt to switch between manual or obtain ip auto, it will come back with another ip that is different from above? Actually, you might want to manually assign the 98FE address to the router range and sub-net mask, WITH the gateway assigned as the router address, AND, if applicable, to the name server you presently use or directly to the router's address. Once you get the issues ironed out you can revert. You can find out what the TCP/IP being received are by using the XP machine: run cmd ipconfig /all Fourth would be: Have you cleared the network settings on the Win98FE completely and started from scratch? I'll try this and see what happens.... Make sure to check the HOSTS file and the registry for DNS and other settings. Windows TCP/IP Registry Entries http://support.microsoft.com/kb/158474 AND what function(s) are you using the Win2K computer for? Might want to also check what the NT OSs are doing; as in which is master or server... I also have a networking page for general reference and troubleshooting accessible via the below Windows link. -- MEB -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___--- |
