Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
I changed the IP to 192.168.1.105 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and it
still did not connect to the internet. I tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Could some of the other settings need to be changed now that the IP/subnet mask have been changed. Under properties for the adapter HP EN1207 TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter, Advanced tab, it shows Network Address Not present. Is that what it should be? Thanks!

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
MEB,
THAT DID IT! I can connect to the internet!!! I did what you said and uninstalled everything under Network of the Win98 system. Then rebooted. It discovered the new hardware and asked me to insert the disk labeled HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver. All I have are the 3 HP System Recovery Disks. I had used the first 2 Recovery Disks to reformat/reload Win98. The 3rd Disk said Application Recovery. I had NOT loaded it on my reload. So, in looking for a disk that might have the adapter drivers, I inserted the first 2 to no avail. Out of lack of anything else to do, I inserted the 3rd disk. Up popped a folder labeled DRIVERS. So I opened it and found the driver and installed it. Then it asked for the Win 98 SE disk. So I inserted it. Then I rebooted. And then I plugged back in my ethernet cable to the router and fired it up. AND IT WORKED!! My best guess is that I didn't have the driver installed to the adapter. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My problem is resolved thanks to you!

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
MEB,
THAT DID IT! I can connect to the internet!!! I did what you said and uninstalled everything under Network of the Win98 system. Then rebooted. It discovered the new hardware and asked me to insert the disk labeled HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver. All I have are the 3 HP System Recovery Disks. I had used the first 2 Recovery Disks to reformat/reload Win98. The 3rd Disk said Application Recovery. I had NOT loaded it on my reload. So, in looking for a disk that might have the adapter drivers, I inserted the first 2 to no avail. Out of lack of anything else to do, I inserted the 3rd disk. Up popped a folder labeled DRIVERS. So I opened it and found the driver and installed it. Then it asked for the Win 98 SE disk. So I inserted it. Then I rebooted. And then I plugged back in my ethernet cable to the router and fired it up. AND IT WORKED!! My best guess is that I didn't have the driver installed to the adapter. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My problem is resolved thanks to you!

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
Thanks! I downloaded free Avast and installed it. It seems to be causing my
system to slow down significantly. I may look around for a 'smaller' Win 98 AV program. Then I'll find a firewall. Thanks again for everything! Martha "MEB" wrote: "skibuz" wrote in message ... | MEB, | THAT DID IT! I can connect to the internet!!! I did what you said and | uninstalled everything under Network of the Win98 system.

Unable to connect to Hardwired Lan with Win98 SE
Your welcome...
How much memory do you have? And how fast a processor? You can shutdown some of the services in AVAST! if your not using them, like P2P, Outlook/Exchange [not OE or other mail programs], and Instant messaging, You WILL need to configure your browsers to use a proxy[AVAST] at 127.0.0.1 port 12080 in your connectionsLANAdvanced so your Internet contact can be monitored and checked for bad stuff. It handles POP3 and IMAP connections for email which covers most services. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org a Peoples' counsel _ _ ~~ "skibuz" wrote in message ... | Thanks!

I did what you said and | | uninstalled everything under Network of the Win98 system. Then rebooted. | It | | discovered the new hardware and asked me to insert the disk labeled HP | | EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver. All I have are the 3 | HP | | System Recovery Disks. I had used the first 2 Recovery Disks to | | reformat/reload Win98. The 3rd Disk said Application Recovery. I had NOT | | loaded it on my reload. So, in looking for a disk that might have the | | adapter drivers, I inserted the first 2 to no avail. Out of lack of | anything | | else to do, I inserted the 3rd disk. Up popped a folder labeled DRIVERS. | So | | I opened it and found the driver and installed it. Then it asked for the | Win | | 98 SE disk. So I inserted it. Then I rebooted. And then I plugged back | in | | my ethernet cable to the router and fired it up. AND IT WORKED!! My best | | guess is that I didn't have the driver installed to the adapter. | | | | THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! | | My problem is resolved thanks to you! | | Martha | | I'm happy it worked out for you, thanks for posting back. | | I note that you used the system restore disks [dated/old files], I would | recommend going to the windows update site and make sure you are up to date | {or at least as of end of support 2006} for the system. | DO NOT use any of Microsoft's "drivers" if they still offer them... just | update the system and IE/OE so what security holes Microsoft fixed are at | least installed in your system. | MAKE SURE you install a firewall and Anti-Virus in 9X before using 9X on | the Internet ANYWHERE beyond windowsupdate, and at least something like | SpyWare Blaster for some of the other issues. Even if you aren't going to | use the 9X system on the Internet, as it is attached to the router and part | of your network, it can be attacked, so make sure to protect it. | | If you want more or specific recommendations, please post in the | microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion group, and we will help to advise on | those issues. | | Again, thanks for posting back with the success. | | -- | MEB | http://peoplescounsel.org | a Peoples' counsel | _ _ | ~~ | | | | | "MEB" wrote: | | | | "skibuz" wrote in message | | ... | | | I changed the IP to 192.168.1.105 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 | and | | it | | | still did not connect to the internet.
