Title: Win 98

    Just a stab in the dark here but make sure that IP auto config is turned off.  Sometimes if windows cannot access the DHCP server it will auto assign an IP and subnet mask for the computer.

I got a good one for you guys. I have a NT4 DC server running DHCP/DNS/WINS. I am on a class B private subnet using the 10.52.x.x address range. I have a 98 machine that everytime it tries to renew its lease at the half-way point, it changes the subnet mask from a class B 255.255.0.0 to a class A 255.0.0.0. Once that happens, of course all it can do is access local machines and will not be able to get passed through my router for internet and corporate access. I have done everything short of reloading the system, which will get upgraded to 2000 soon. But I am curious if any of you guys have bumped into this, since it is only one machine? Please help!

Thank You,
