| 62841 | 2002-07-15 10:43:00 | I'm having a go at getting networked . When I add the required NE2000 adapter in control panel's network configuration box this Win98 machine loses its internet connection . I can dial through and connect but no data will be sent . Trying to ping results in "site not found" and pages in IE immediately come up with "page not found" . It is definitely my machine and not the ISP as it makes no difference which ISP I try . Does anyone know why this happens? There is no network card installed at the moment . Even after uninstalling the adapter the only way to get my internet back is by restoring a registry backup . I can't see how I'm going to set up this adapter and retain my internet connection . Any ideas appreciated . |

| 62843 | 2002-07-15 10:54:00 | Hi Susan No magic bullet, but the commonality will likely be that both the dial-up and the NIC are network adapters from windows perspective. What protocols are active on your dial-up adapter after installing the NIC? It sounds like you may be missing TCP/IP, perhaps all adapters are reset after installing the NIC and need reconfiguring? Control Panel - Network - dial-up adapter - protocols should include TCP/IP. Note all when its going OK, see whats missing when its not. Sorry I cant remember exact steps, XP is different (and virtually automates the process) |

| 62845 | 2002-07-15 11:13:00 | Don't think thats the trouble tech_mister, as Susan has stated the PC dials and connects. Just doesnt transfer any data. Strongly suspect TCP/IP.... | godfather (25) | ||

| 62849 | 2002-07-15 11:28:00 | tweak'e: It's an "Advanced Network Product" (that's what's on the box anyway) "Ethernet E2000C plus". I thought I tried everything but uninstalling the TCP/IP wasn't one of them - sounds promising. godfather: I normally have Steve Gibson's binding method with things bound to the NetBUI. Thus nothing is bound to the TCP/IP but I can't remember whether installing the NE2000 adapter altered this or not. I'm going to have to backup the registry a few times and have a copy on a floppy disk before I'm prepared to fiddle again. Actually I think the new adapter included the TCP/IP protocol because the first time I tried installing the adapter I went through them all unbinding them again. Not 100% certain though. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions. :-) PS How on earth did you manage to post three times?! :O |

| 62850 | 2002-07-15 11:33:00 | Yes Susan, the new adapter may have had it, but your problem is with the (old) dial-up adapter which may have lost them. Tweak'e may be right that unistalling the TCP/IP and reinstalling may work. Remember that TCP/IP has to be installed for EACH adapter, not just once for both.....? And, horrors, I did not click twice, thats a real forum originated double post. Dont have a lag or anything on Jetstream.. |
