Hi, I really havent been on 98SE for a while but it could be that your DHCP request is being routed wrong, alot of items are just automatically handled in future windows versions, you could also be running firewall software on your own that is blocking DHCP? (ports 67/68).
If I had a Win98 machine right now w/ those problems Id download some kind of tool (windump or ethereal) to see how the packets are being handled if @ all. Also make sure your not running any kind of sharing junk because it could be running its own type of DHCP and your basically requesting packets from yourself. Not sure if that helps your problem but worth a try to recheck your machine. - Jon On Tue, Jun 29, 2004 at 08:00:25PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I spoke to the IT person, who said that it doesn't appear that the > machine is getting the IP info from the AP/DHCP.
