I have a problem with my Dell XPS R450, Win98 SP1 PC that
started after I installed a PCI NIC. I can't open website
addresses, only get the "page cannot be displayed"
message and I can't ping their IP's either. The only
thing I can do is ping the localhost. After all the
checks of registry entries, winsock file versions, DUN
and TCP/IP settings, the only thing I have left to try is
uninstalling DUN and TCP/IP and reinstall. The problem is
I've found several different ways to do this, from
different forums and even the knowledge base at
Microsoft. The order I've kind of come up with is, delete
the registry entries for winsock and winsock2, then
remove TCP/IP for all adapters in network, configuration
tab, then go to add/remove programs, windows setup,
uncheck communications, hit OK and restart and then
reinstall all from either the Win98 CD or the cab files
on my harddrive. Is that the order? I'd really appreciate
some advice from someone who has done it, does the order
really matter?
