103851 2002-12-07 22:04:00 The cables connect from each machine directly to the hub?

Is there a vacant port on the hub to try?

Is there a vacant port on the hub to try? HAVE TRIED THIS Whilst in being serviced it would not ping on their network !!

Whilst being 'serviced' the computer would not ping on their network. See note earlier about reinstalling W98

103855 2002-12-07 22:28:00 Use the cable with a machine that works.

If there asre no problems, the LAN is eliminated.

103857 2002-12-07 22:57:00 Create a bootable floppy (DOS version is not relevant) and modify to take the drivers for the installed network card.
Check bootdisk.com (http://bootdisk.com/) for possibilities

Boot from it and ping from and to the machine.
This tests the network card

103858 2002-12-07 22:59:00 Take the UTP cable from the faulty machine and use it on a machine that works. Use the same port on the hub. Merlin (503)
103859 2002-12-07 23:11:00 all i can think of is that ping has been disabled or blocked somehow. if the network is working why bother fixing it?

you may need to remove and reinstall the tcp/ip. make sure there are no leftovers of firewalls and spyware in the system.


is client for microsoft networks installed? and does each pc have a log on for it? small trick is to use tweakUI to auto logon the networking and switch primary logon to windows logon.(so windows logons user at startup and tweakUI logons the networking, makes boot up quicker).

have you got any of the networking unbound?


win98 networking can be so much fun ;-)
