I have had an ongoing problem with one Win98 Workstation that cannot connect to the network. I have issued it a static IP, Configured TCP/IP to 192.168.0.2, Subnet Mask is 192.168.0.1, Default Gateway is 255.255.255.0
THe Server sees the machine in Server Manager as an NT Workstation but my other win98 machine is listed as a win98 machine. I have checked the cable connection, the nic card is configured right but still cannot find the server at logon.
Pulling my hair out and need help. I'm overlooking something really simple and can't figure it out. Ready to wipe the whole system out and restart.

Hi,

Should I start by assuming the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.0.1?
If you put them in backwards that would bail you out in a flash!
What is your server ip settings?
What is your other win98 ip settings?

Later,
Kevin

Sorry guys! Figured out the problem was with the back plain connection to the motherboard on the HP machine

TCP/IP to 192.168.0.2, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1
Not sure if you typed it wrong but gateway and mask are the wrong way around.Also try and remove NIC from CtrlPanel-System-Hardware.Reinstall.Or try and add a line in lmhosts file.Eg : 102.54.94.97 rhino #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC

Remove the NIC card, Client for MS Netwks, and TCP/IP. Reboot and reinstall all. Also, what type of NIC card. Are you sure that you are using the right drivers?
