OK, we all want to get away from windoze, but some of us can't (yet)! John, so many possibilities & so little info. Firstly, I'm sure you've done this already, but lets do it again: check your settings CAREFULLY to make sure they are the same on both systems - I had a similar problem (except the other way around - Linux hanging ) and found that I had mistyped one of the DNS entries - very easy to do, and since it was similar, I looked at it several times before I saw the error. Other than that - tell us how you connect & give us something to work with - email privately if you don't want to further upset those who have successfully got M$ out of their systems
Re: [expert] TCP/IP Problem - No offence intended.
The problem is that if it's win-specific TCP/IP problems, well, it provides an opaque view and besides we're all here 'cause we want to get *away* from Windows. I mean, really, we all love ya', but Windows questions *will* be better answered by Windows users than Linux users, methinks. On Mon, 03 Apr 2000, you wrote: | Your point is taken.

Re: [expert] TCP/IP Problem - No offence intended.
Your point is taken. However, since I work primarily in Linux, and since I trust and respect the opinions of THIS group rather than any Microsoft mailing list, therefore I posted to this list. No offence was intended. I also regard the gurus on this list to be better informed re TCP/IP, and I still believe that this is where the problem lies, and not specifically with Win98 ... Any constructive ideas?
