My workstation is running on Win98SE and this PC is facing the failure on accessing on our
Intranet website,hosted on a Win2000 server which is also a DHCP and a DNS server.
My workstation is using a dynamic address assigned from a DHCP server.I have
no problem on accessing
the intranet on other workstation.Even worst is I can ping the IP address and host name of my
Win2k intranet webserver but still I can't get the website despite putting in a correct address
of my webserver.
Pls advise.

this could be dns or proxy related depending on your setup. I assume your hosts file is setup correctly. Internet Explorer may be trying to find the intranet site through a proxy when it doesn't need to.
try this...
since your win2k intranet is a static ip and is local to your network change the properties of internet explorer to bypass proxy server for local addresses.
Go to tools then internet options. click on connections then LAN settings. If proxy server is enabled put a tick in bypass proxy for local addresses then click advanced and enter the address of your win2k intranet. Save changes and give it a shot.

If you dont use a proxy server and rely on dns ensure that your dns settings are correct.

good luck.
