He's talking about Windows 98, most of this stuff doesn't apply. Ten-to-one
the school puts off any security considerations because of money. "The
children must have internet access!" and they will continue as they are.

Subject: 98 Workstation can't see server/Net
Here's one I just don't get...
I have a client (An elementary school) with an NT server and 30 nodes
running Win 98. They just got DSL installed so that all machines can access
the Internet.
The way the Ameritech guy set them up, all computers(including the server)
are getting IP addresses from an upstream DHCP somewhere in Ameritech. (I
know, it's not at all secure. I'll address that with the client later.)
Most of the machines work ok with this and can see the lan and the local
server and the Internet. About 6 of them can't get out to the internet, but
can access the server...their network configurations are identical.
On one machine I removed and reinstalled tcp/ip protocol and now that
machine can't even see the server. I get the "No Domain Server was
available.." message.
Any suggestions on where to look, what to look for?
At some time in the future I plan on advising them to go with private IP
(192.168.x.x) for the internal network, and a firewall device like the
Linksys or something that does aliasing.
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!
