[luau] Network problem
Any body have this problem with Windows 98? I have my friends Windows 98 box which runs behind a Linux/unix firewall router. It stopped resolving the IP addresses to the domain names on this box. The Netscape nor Explorer will not recognize the names. I cant ping from this box by name either, but using the IP address I can ping ok. Anybody know what resolves the name to the IP in Windows 98 that could be not set or screwed up? Thanks. Aloha! Al Plant - Webmaster http://hawaiidakine.com Providing FAST DSL Service for $28.00 /mo.

You can use ipconfig/winipcfg to check if the nameservers are set properly. Is there another system behind the gateway that is working? That would help decide whether or not the problem really is with the Win98 box. -Vince
