Hi Brian, thanks for the responce, the ipconfig output reads ip 169.254.117.142 subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 and pinging results in host unreachable i have also tried to set an ip address and gateway manually on the win98 machine to no avail , the dhcpd.conf for machine #1 gives a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and ip's of 192.168.0.16-253. machine #3 has a ip 192.168.0.16 thanks again brian where do you think the problem lies? regs jason
