I just git PMfirewall to work for me. I had a simular problem. I could ping the
gateway machine and a ip address out side of my net work. but could not get
DNS
to work. After a few peloads of pmfirewall and quite a few redoes of network
settings I added the DNS server numbers for my ISP into the 2 win 98 machines
and it worked. I dont think that is the way it is suppose to be but what the
heck.
