My bad Keith.
I should have thought about it for a moment.
Hmmm....
To find your NIC settings in XP should be something like
Start ==> My Network Places ==> Local Area Connection ==>
{ I don't know if you can right click that one or not}
Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties==>
In the General Dialogue box, you should have at the top
something that says 'Connect using ' and your NIC
descriptor.
If you place your mouse over the
NIC icon, your properties of the nic and if it
is active will appear after 5 seconds.
If you left click while doing so, your turn off your
NIC. If you left click again, you'll turn it back
on. Click once now, and turn it off.
Further down, in the General dialogue box, will be the
TCP/IP properties box. Left click on that line, and
another General menu will pop up.
I would, if I were you, select the 'USE the following IP'
and fill out the IP and Subnet info that you had before
here.
Then move further downward, and select the 'Use the
following DNS server addresses', and fill in the Primary
and Secondary DNS server ip addresses for this computer.
You may have to move on to the ADVANCED SECTION to fill
in the settings.
Click okay once, make sure that your at the General box
for 'Local Area Connection Properties', and move the mouse
pointer over the NIC icon again, and click on the icon.
The new network settings should take effect right about
then.
I'd open the browser and try to surf a webpage to see if
the settings took.
HTH Keith,
