Desperate need of help

I know this is a newsgroup for MSCE. But I have a
question?
I’m running a windows 98 machine. I have it connected to a
network running 2000.
On the 98 machine I’m unable to get to the Internet. My
helpdesk advise it could be the NIC. And I should reload
the drivers. I’m unable to ping an address. Anyone that
may know what the problem is and could direct me in the
right area. I would greatly appreciate it

Jeff

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses, we need more
info ... what is the network setup, home user? Dial up?
Are you sharing the connection? Are you running NAT? What
is the IP addy info for the server? What ISP? What help
desk? Eat it.

Okay I have release and renew the IP address on the 98
machine.. it is 24.30.13...... I was wondering what if I
uninstall the NIC card., win98 does have pnp on it right.
would find the drivers and put the nic back..

Okay maybe I'm a little course. Can someone tell me what
steps I should take to figure out what the problem is....
I'm at work right now so I can check my computer.. Please

Let me get this straight. When you release and renew the IP address you
successfully get an IP Address? Is so, let's stop focusing on the NIC for a
minute, and perhaps tell us what you mean by "I'm unable to get to the
Internet". Do you mean you are getting an error message, the browser doesn't
respond, etc... Knowing what you can't do, and the error message would
definitely help.

Assuming you don't use a browser for email, are you able to send/receive
email from this computer?

Since you can release and renew ip address lease, ping yourself. Ping
www.yahoo.com Can you get any replies? Ping your gateway, dns any other
external IP address. If you can ping them, you do have a connection to the
outside world. Type the following in your browser's address bar:
http://66.218.71.86

Have fun. If you still can't get to the internet, try going out and having a
cold shake. Enjoy the real world for a while and then try the virtual one
again later.

OK Dragon
