DNS Resolution problem. HELP!
This is the same problem as my recent post titled "Win PC visible on
network, but can't use DSL modem", but I have it narrowed down a bit, (with the help of the good people at Dlink): I have been trying to get my wife's Win98 machine to access the Internet. It is visible on the LAN, but can't get on the Internet. I find that I can ping sites on the Internet by their numbers, such as 4.2.2.2 for yahoo and 66.102.9.104 for google, and get a response. If I try to ping yahoo.com or google.com either I get an unknown host message (yahoo.com) or an Illegal Operation message (google.com). Is there some fix for this? Some cab I can reload? I would be so grateful for any suggestions! Thank You, -plh -- I keep hitting "Esc" -- but I'm still here! [if "123" is in email address, that is an anti-spam thing.] |

[if "123" is in email address, that is an anti-spam thing.] First, make sure your Dlink has the correct gateway and dns IP addresses. Make sure you can ping those addresses from your Win98 pc. Then use winipcfg (from cmd) on the win98 pc to check the local IP and make sure you a a) set up to use DHCP b) getting the correct gateway and dns IP from the DLink Make sure your Dlink is responding to the DHCP request - check the Dlink. It sounds like your win98 pc is not getting the correct address for the dns. |

[if "123" is in email address, that is an anti-spam thing.] First, make sure your Dlink has the correct gateway and dns IP addresses. Thank you so much for responding Other computers (3) on the network (peer-to-peer) are fine so I assume it is OK. Make sure you can ping those addresses from your Win98 pc. Checks out Then use winipcfg (from cmd) on the win98 pc to check the local IP and make sure you a a) set up to use DHCP Yes. b) getting the correct gateway and dns IP from the DLink Yes. Make sure your Dlink is responding to the DHCP request - check the Dlink. Again, the other computers (one of which runs win98) have no problem. It sounds like your win98 pc is not getting the correct address for the dns. True, but it seems to be a problem with the specific computer, not the network or router. I am trying to find alternatives before I resort to reloading the OS. So I am trying to find out what those alternatives might be. But it seems that something is corrupt in the OS. I am hoping to find a way to reload that corrupt part, if I can identify it. Thank you again for your response, -plh -- I keep hitting "Esc" -- but I'm still here!
