Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Networking / November 200598se machine default gateway
My main pc runs xp sp2 and linked to this is a sweex adsl router, my second pc is a 98se one that go's on the internet without any problems, however my third pc also runs 98se and after running the netsetup floppy from the xp machine does not give the default gateway, all other settings appear to be as the second machine, I tried a sweex pci lan card initially on 3rd pc but after being unable to get to work I changed this for a vivanco usb connector both with the same result(no default gateway, thus not being able to get on the internet) Any help would be appreciated. when you say "does not give the default gateway" does this mean that you cant ping the router? Can the problem machine access the internet when connected directly to the modem - ie without going through the router? I had similar problems when setting up my home net with a Linksys wrt54gs router, once I had got the conection to the internet through the modem I was able to connect via the router. Have you checked the router configuration so that the problem machines IP is in the correct IP range? I also found that I could not access the Linksys setup screen if I had "Use a proxy server for your LAN" set in IE. Try unsetting this if it is set. (IE / Tools / Internet Options / Connections / Lan Settings and uncheck. This probably isnt the solution but its all I could think of.

HOST NAME OK DNS SERVERS OK NODE TYPE BROADCAST ADAPTER ADDRESS OK IP ADDRESS OK SUBNET MASK OK DEFAULT GATEWAY IS BLANK DHCP SERVER OK LEASE DATE IS GIVEN EXPIRY DATE IS GIVEN where I typed OK this means that I am satisfied with the numbers given, also I can ping the router and this pc itself. The Sweex adsl router is the broadband modem, should I try connecting via my dial up modem to ensure the IE settings work although this pc has been on the internet before. Any further help would be greatly appreciated. > when you say "does not give the default gateway" does this mean that you > cant ping the router?

My ISP requires a different account for dialup than for broadband - so that wouldn't work for me. If the router is also the modem then I'm assuming that it was supplied by your ISP. Have you contacted support? I dont think I can be help more than that Im affraid. Hopefully someone else will pick this up who has first hand experiance with that router model. good luck, Keith Thanks Keith for trying to help. At the moment the 98se problem pc sees itself on the network, sees the other 98se pc but it is not accessable, pings itself and pings the router address. Entire network comes up with Mshome which is good, but still cannot see the xp pc or the internet. Any further help please as this is doing my head in.
