98SE IP address setup
I am using linksys WUSB54G network adapters in a peer to
peer network between a XP pro and 98SE computer. The wireless network requires a specified IP address, but my ISP server requires an automatic assigned address. I can do this on the XP but it appears to be mutually exclusive on the 98SE machine. When I make the change in control panel / network / TCP/IP wireless it also applied to the ISP connection. How can I setup both a specified and automated IP address on the 98SE? |

The 98SE has two adapters - the one for the internet is
TCP/IP Dial-up adapter - the one for the wireless system is TCP/IP Linksys Wireless - G USB Network Adapter. When both are set to obtain an IP address automaticially, I can use internet explorer and outlook express, but the network does not work. When the dial-up is set to automatic and the wireless is set to Specify an IP address, 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0, the network works, I can connect to the ISP but internet explorer says pages cannot be displayed and Outlook express cannot find the host. I am new at this and do not understand the remainder of your instructions.

The following is the best I could come up with.
With both adapters set to automatic DCHP enabled yes IP address 63.184.177.31 subnet mask 255.0.0.0 default gateway 63.184.177.31 DHCP server 255.255.255.255 Primary WINS server 151.168.254.40 secondary WINS server 151.168.145.79 Ethernet adapter Description Linksys wireless-G USB network adapter Physical address 00-0f-66-6b-86-2e DHCP enabled yes IP address 169.254.99.217 subnet mask 255.255.0.0 default gateway DHCP server 255.255.255.255 primary WINS server secondary WINS server When I changed the wireless to specify an IP address I got physical address 44-45-53-54-00-00 DHCP enabled yes IP address 0.0.0.0 subnet mask 0.0.0.0 default gateway DHCP server 255.255.255.255 primary WINS server secondary WINS server Ethernet adapter Description Linksys wireless-G USB network adapter physical address 00-0f-66-6b-86-2e DHCP enabled no IP address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 default gateway 0.0.0.0 primary WINS server secondary WINS server I hope this information helps and you can help me resolve the problem.
