Here's scenario-

Small network/60 users/WIN95/98/2000
NT 4.0 Server/Single Domain
D Link Internet Access Modem (DP601M)
Bay Networks Router
Frame Relay Circuit to Remote Location

1 WIN98 workstation refuses to connect to the internet. I'vechecked/rechecked TCP/IP
configuration and find no problems.
TCP/IP is configured with a static IP address,
DNS server address of our Internet Provider,
Default gateway address of router and d-link modem. Machine navigates network fine, but IE
returns "Page not Found Error" messages.
I can ping anything on the network, but not the DNS server of IP. I've reinstalled WIN98SE, IE5, no success. Please help!
Other WIN 98 machines on network are configured identical and have no problems with internet or e mail.
Thanks

GTE

Well, the first thing I would ask I would assume that you have tries to place this pc in the spot of a known working machine to rule out any possibility of the route not covering the designated IP address. If that has produced no results then maybe trying that pc through a dial up connection to a personal ISP to rule out the server/router etc. It seems to be allowing all traffic internal but not external which is controlled through router, frame etc. I would attempt the aforementioned and see what happens, it doesnt sound to me like a pc configuration problem, let me know as I would be curious to find out the answer. Wish I could have been more help Good Luck

There is no mention of WSP, if you are in a network of multiple applications and one of them use WinSock Proxy and it is turned on you will not be able to access the Internet. Check for WSP. Hope this will help.
