Several XP and Windows 98 clients with private (ie 10...) addressing on a Microsoft network suddenly could not connect (or ping) to internet. They could connect to other clients within the network. The machines had no ip conflicting addresses, had up-to-date spybot and symantec anti-virus - scanned hard drives with both and they were clean. Also, ran a winsock fix program with no effect.

Computers connect through a Cisco pix firewall - flushing the arp table had no effect.

But when I changed the ip address the machines could connect to internet. However, I cannot use original ip addresses.

Any ideas on what's going on and how I can correct this situation?

which are you using, If Dhcp, is it from server or the Firewall? Check to make sure that the router address is not available from DHCP.
