Re: PCWorks: Network Windows98

[Keith Thompson]

I've found that with Win98, its better to let the TCP automatically 
assign IP addresses rather than try the fixed IP.  Win XP seems to take 
this better (fixed IP) than win 98.  I had a laptop with XP Home and 
desktop with 98.  Easiest connection was when I let the auto select 
work.  Now I have both laptop and desktop in XP and connections are much 
easier either way.

Hi everyone, desperately need help with a windows 98  network.
4 computers, all attached to 8 port hub, all with static IP addresses. All working OK.
Then customer bought an ADSL modem (Lan connection) plus an S_Box( firewall and router 
from his ISP.
Still kept static addresses but had to change them to match the router.
Now only 2 computers see one another, but all receive internet. I've been over the 
settings a thousand times also with the ISP, but can't get the other computers back on 
the network, eexcept for the internet
No one can offer any reason or solution.
Anyone out there with any thoughts???
Any ideas gratefully received!!

Thanks
