I have two pc's connected via usb wireless network adapters in adhoc
mode....both running Windows 98.
My pc is the host and connects to the net via a bradband usb modem and I
dont have any problems.
My daughters pc which is new will not connect to the internet through the
network even though both pc's can see each other and transfer files without
any problems.
My daughters pc is new and her old pc found the internet connection straight
away.
So I know that the problem isnt with my pc as I havent changed any settings.
I have checked and double checked all available settings in network
properties and everything seems fine.
I have ICS installed on my pc.
I have tried disabling Zonealarm even though her pc is in the trusted zone.
I have disabled Trend Micro Pccillin antivirus but still no connection.
I am hoping that someone with more knowledge than me can spare some time to
help me with this problem as its really stressing me out.

Is the new PC running Windows XP?

If it is, Start->Run...->type "cmd"->type "ipconfig /all" and post the
results.

If the new PC is running Windows 98, you want to run "winipcfg" (or similar;
the last time I did this was many years ago) in order to see the settings.
Compare what you see on the old and new PC.

Does the new PC have TCP/IP enabled for the network card (check the device
settings)? You can transfer files on a LAN using IPX/SPX and other
protocols but those protocols will not work for accessing the internet.

Ok I've run winipcfg but I am not quite sure what to do with the
information.
I have 4 items in the drop down menu on my pc.
1:BT Voyager USB adapter.
2:ICS share adapter.
3:Microsoft TV/Video connection.
4:VIA Rhine 11ethernet adapter.

And on the problem pc there are 2 items.
1:VIA Rhine 11 fast ethernet adapter.
2:BT Voyager USB adapter.

Not sure if I understand what you are trying to do, but it looks like you
are not using the on-board NIC's (i.e. VIA Rhine 11 fast ethernet adapter).
If this is the case try disabling this in the BIOS of the problem computer.

Can you post the IP and Gateway addresses that you get on the computer that
works and the one that does not?

Weird. You have a lot of network adapters.

The one thing I notice is that on "GRACE" the DNS servers are configured as
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.1. The "BT Voyager 1010 USB Adapter" on that
computer has the IP address of 192.168.0.2 and thus DNS lookups on that
computer might be sent to itself. On "ELLIS AND DAD" the DNS servers are
62.241.162.200 and 158.43.240.3 and similar numbers should appear on "GRACE"
unless ICS also sets up a DNS server on "ELLIS AND DAD" in which case only
192.168.0.1 should appear (not 192.168.0.2).

On "GRACE," if you ping 171.67.1.1 do you get a reply? (open up a command
prompt and type "ping 171.67.1.1"; I think that ping should be in Windows
9 If you get a reply but cannot otherwise access the internet, then it's
a DNS issue.

Also, on "GRACE," is the "VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter" connected to
something?

You might want to look into replacing the broadband USB modem with one that
could be connected to a computer through ethernet. That way you can connect
a router to it and simplify the network a bit. By putting a router between
the internet and your network, you also have an effective way to keep a
large number of worms from reaching your computers.

Hello
I've got it working.
Someone advised me to remove TCP/IP settings for anything but Wireless
network adapter and hey presto its working.
Thankyou very much for the help you gave me.
If it wasn't for people like you then people like me wouldn't be able to
enjoy computers so much.
Regards
Steve.
