Re: Event Error 32003 IPNATHLP & KB 293497

Your Subnet mask is fine.
You should start by opening a command prompt on each machine, and do a ping of the default gateway.:
ping 192.168.100.254

If both don't timeout, Open the gateway config app:
http://192.168.100.254
You probably have something wrong in the WAN configuration. Clone the Mac address, and reset the WAN connection, then restart the gateway(router or switch)

If no help, on each machine try a prompt command:
ipconfig /release
then:
ipconfig /renew

KB 293497 says to change the Mask to the Subnet Mask that the External
Network uses.

My addresses are:
Laptop where error is occurring:
IP Address: 192.168.100.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.254

Desktop:
IP Address: 192.168.100.102
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.254

Would someone pls tell me what the instructions
"Change the Mask to the Subnet Mask that the External Network uses"
is telling me to do,
Where will I find the "External Network" to get this Subnet Mask nbr?
Thx ...
