cannot browse

I have a Win98 SE machine that is connected to a P2P
network, and pulling an IP from a Router. Everything has
been working fine, and suddenly today I cannot access the
internet or browse network. The machine is still pulling
an IP. I have scanned for viruses and spyware,
uninstalled the NIC and reinstalled, and uninstalled
TCP/IP and reinstalled. Help?

run "winipcfg" and see if all the information is correct. Then try running
"ping" against the default router and DNS server addresses.

I have a similar problem -- it happened all of the sudden,
too. My configuration used to work fine. I also see a
couple other posts in this NG that also describe this
problem occurring suddenly. The problem is similar to bug
in KB #238853, even though no WinNT domain is being used.

Did one of Microsoft's recent "fixes" break file sharing
in Win98?

I'm going to try the other things that have been suggested
in here, but it seems more like a bug, these are just
workarounds...

and wait, then type >ipconfig /renew_all

Stupid suggestion that usually works at my house -- reset the router.

I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 that will sometimes ignore machines. Unplug
the router, count to 30 and plug it back in. See if that has any
effect. Linksys devices seem to be bad about this

I should have specified that you need to unplug the power to the router.
Take a way the router's power let it reset for about 30 seconds, then
plug the power back in and let it retrain for a few seconds and see if
it picks back up.

Given that we are talking Win98 here, you may also need to reboot any
Win98 machines connected to the router for them to get back on the net.

usually if you are pulling an ip adress and you have
recently renewed it (ipconfig /release_all, then ip
config /renew_all)and are still not getting internet or
able to browse machines by name then you have a DNS issue.
if all else fails uninstall TCPIP from the network setting
and reinstall it. this has worked for me before.
