OK, so i have a small LAN setup here at home, so the kids and friends can surf the net while i am online. everything was working fine on thursday, but friday i discovered that one of the systems (win98) could not see the local network, nor get to the internet...after some poking around i discovered that the network card had changed it's ip from the 192.168.0 block to some 169.254 block.... so i figure i will tell it what ip to be...well that system could now see the local network, but still no internet... i had this happen once before and a format and reinstall on the particular system solved the problem, so i did that last night, no luck, the net card still wants to be on the 169.254 block....
now, my system that gives it access to the net is a win2k pro and all the systems run the 192.168.0 block for their net cards... help! i cannot get this card to give up the 169.254 ip address and even when i tell it to use the 192.168.0 block it won't let the system get to the internet... any ideas? please? i am not a network engineer type and have run out of patience and things to try.... ~~ Stephenie ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
