Re: Help Please!!! How do I get win2k connected to the internet?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

DNS=Domain Name Server, i.e. the server that will
resolve Internet names such as www.google.com into
an IP address.

What Danny alluded to was the minimum collection of
settings you need to post. Here is how to do it:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
ipconfig > c:\test.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\test.txt {Enter}
- Copy & paste the text into your reply

Hello, I hope someone can help me! I have had to reinstall my
daughters
win2k
on her pc as the hwole system crashed. I have managed to reinstall the
whole
thing fine, but I can't get her internet connection working. Beofre
the
crash, she connected to the internet using a wirelss adaptor, as I
have
wireless broadband on my pc. I have managed to reinstall the adaptor,
and
get
it connected to my wireless modem, but her pc still won't connect to
the
internet. I'm not the brightest spark when it comes to IT thinking,
but I
know my basics! Does anyone have nay ideas at all? I have tried to
install
the software on her pc for my wirelss modem, but it still wouldn't
work. I
would be so grateful for any help anyone can give! She is getting so
upset
that she has been without her pc for weeks now!!! (she's only 11).

Thanks a lot.
