[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
Re: [luau] Network problem
Is this internal or external resolution? I have seen spyware that replaces the DNS suffix and possiby the DNS servers before. That would not explain the reason you can not ping it from somewhere by name though (assuming it worked before and nothing else changed like Netbios names). I've seen strange TCP/IP issues with IRQ sharing on Win98 before. I had a SBLive that did not play well with a network card when they were sharing IRQ's. I moved them around it it started working. Another thing to try is completely remove and then reinstall TCP/IP from the network setup.

RE: [luau] Network problem
Just an idea: might try to see what's still working. I would try creating a "hosts" file in the windows directory. In it you can add the ip addresses and names of a few known hosts that are on the same network. ie. 192.168.1.151 main 192.168.1.160 freddy Then try to ping main and try to ping freddy. Can it resolve the name to an ip address? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of al plant Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 6:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [luau] Network problem Yuser wrote: > > Is this internal or external resolution?

RE: [luau] Network problem
Another option would be to just populate the lmhosts file then its a non issue...Granted a Band-Aid approach but a Non Issue none the less. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of al plant Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 6:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [luau] Network problem Yuser wrote: > > Is this internal or external resolution?

RE: [luau] Network problem
It sounds to me that this machine does not know where to look for the DNS server...if you don't tell it, it won't work! Have you entered the DNS server IP addresses in the DNS settings? Is DNS enabled? Is your "WINDOWS" box receiving its IP address from DHCP or is it static? Have you checked the local Windows users group?

I tried 2 IP addresses in the TCP/IP settings and it came up finally. The other Win 98 boxes on the lan don't have to have a real IP in there to come up and surf the internet from inside my network.
