Win98 laptop can't connect to the internet - Help!!
My old laptop was connecting fine to the internet, and a couple of weeks
ago, stopped connecting to the internet. I then tried to connect with a usb network adaptor after removing the pcmcia network adaptor, and it still won't connect. I've also tried reformatting and reloading the system with Win98SE from scratch. Still without success. It doesn't seem to be able to find a gateway, although I give it one through the properties for the tcp/ip for the network adaptors. I can see the other desktops on the network from the laptop, but it just won't connect to the internet. The other desktops, also Win98SE, don't have a problem connecting to the internet. I've tried everything that I could think of to connect to the internet. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. |
