"boot up again in Win98 and run "winipcfg" as Michael suggested. Make not of the default gateway on you NIC. Before closing "winipcfg", you _must_ "Release all" then shutdown Win98. Boot up Dachstein and enter the default gateway you found in "winipcfg" to the line in network.conf that reads "DEFAULT_GW= http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz";. <http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz> Now do a "svi network reload" and things should be better.
It seems with Excite out of there that Cox@Home is only giving out one dhcp lease at a time forcing you to "release" one before getting another. There has been several cases of this in the last couple of weeks. The default gateway seems to be more of a regional requirement, but it wouldn't hurt to enter it in either case." OK Lynn.. Hadn't seen your response yet, when I posted my last. I tried this with no result, then without Win98 successfully getting an IP, it gave itself the bogus default MS, IP.. Then it wouldn't release that, so I was down completely for a while. I'm about to explore the possibility that the cable modem needs a power cycle to clear the MAC address, when changing NIC's AND the IP release. I'd normally test and post the results, but if it takes me down for the night.. The other kicker, it has been stated that the DHCP lease time is four hours, (?!) so that may be how long I have to wait between changes.. Of course, thats what they say, according to winipcfg, my current lease is for 24 hours. This after having "dynamic IP" and two IP's in two and a half years.. Let you all know how it goes..
