I am running a win98 network about 4 comp. with a dial up internet connection. The other 3 comp. is work find to browse the internet. But one of them not work. I have checked the LAN connection to my server and is ok!.And ping to another comp( server). is ok. But the problem arrised when I browse to the internet. I used 8-port SVEC workstation hub and Pro-Link v-90 Tornado 56k Modem

The question I want to pose are :
1. Is there any setup that I missed ?
2. Should I change the local IP address ?
(Now I am using 10.1.1.x for the client)
3. Is it just a matter of hardware problem ?
I mean that my hub or modem.

Any respond to this question would be appreciated
Thank you very much indeed.

Open the Control Panel,click on Network and check that DHCP is enabled to set addresses automatically and make sure that the Wins and Proxy server settings are disabled
The other option would be to reinstall your network settings on the computer

You're able to ping the server, so I think it's safe to rule out hardware

Assuming you're using static IPs, it's probobly safer to have your IPs on the other machines read as 10.1.X.Y where X is same number on all your machines, so you're all using a common subnet.

All of your client machines will need to have a gateway configured with the IP of your server.

After that, I'd be looking to see if there's some security setting or proxy setup within IE or Netscape.

What sharing softwareare you using to connect these?
