Hi,
network with DHCP server.
A win98 box,(as I attach the cable to another computer, the connection
is OK. So, there is something with this box)
Can't ping gateway but can receive reply by ping 127.0.0.1. there is
no antivirus software or firewall installed and it's a fresh win98
system restored from ghost.
The I assign it with static IP address(all configuration is correct,
subnet mask, gateway, DNS), still can't ping gateway and can receive
reply by ping 127.0.0.1.
I think the possibility is that onboard NIC is faulty. Does there
have any other possibility?
Since it is a fresh install, did you also install the motherboard
drivers and the NIC drivers? Win98 won't have those included.
If not, please do so. If you did install the correct Win98 drivers for
your hardware, then throw in a known-working PCI NIC. Disable the
onboard NIC in the BIOS. You can get a PCI NIC for under $20USD so this
isn't a big expense.
