RE: Win 98

Title: Win 98

This is also an issue I've had on only two VLAN's of 8 on the network, W98 boxes.  We have a class C, the mask changes from that class C 255.255.255.0 to class A 255.0.0.0  This happens willy nilly, no rhyme or reason to it that I can see thus far.  I had thought it was remote users, when then come into the office their PPP adapter messes with the Ethernet?  Not, there is now a desktop PC I have the same issue with.  I've looked into my config on router, to make sure settings are the same for all VLAN's, etc...  To resolve, winipcfg, release, renew and the subnet mask goes back to 255.255.255.0   I'm going to look into the suggestion of updating driver files for NICs.  Any further suggestions?

I might be wrong but  Ithought that 10.x addresses came under the class A subnet ? i.e. 255.0.0.0 but I might well be wrong, we use 10.10.x.x and thats a 255.0.0.0 subnet....

I got a good one for you guys. I have a NT4 DC server running DHCP/DNS/WINS. I am on a class B private subnet using the 10.52.x.x address range. I have a 98 machine that everytime it tries to renew its lease at the half-way point, it changes the subnet mask from a class B 255.255.0.0 to a class A 255.0.0.0. Once that happens, of course all it can do is access local machines and will not be able to get passed through my router for internet and corporate access. I have done everything short of reloading the system, which will get upgraded to 2000 soon. But I am curious if any of you guys have bumped into this, since it is only one machine? Please help!

Thank You,
