Having just upgraded my mother's computer to Win98se a couple of things you could look at: 1 In IE look in Tools - Internet Options - connections. Make sure the proxy server boxes is unchecked. 2 Check in the TCP/IP area for the network card what is configured for DNS resolution. We use our IPCop box as our primary DNS server. 3 Finally check the hosts file in the Windows directory. It will need to contain the IP details for the IPCop box.

Hi All, I recently set up an IPcop box for my Dad with a dialup connection. I also set it up as a DHCP server for his network. The first four PC's (all running windows 98 se plugged into the network had no problems accessing the internet, but when we tried to plug my sister's laptop in (also win98se) it couldn't access the internet. It obtained an IP address from the DHCP server and I can ping the ipcop box. I can also ping to www.google.com, so IP seems to be working at the command-line level. However, I can't open the IPcop admin page or any other page in the web browser. It is set up to obtain IP address automatically and connecto to the internet through the LAN. Has anyone come across a similar problem and found a solution, or have any suggestions for things to try?
