This page cannot be displayed

Hello,

I have a small network set up, all PCs running Windows 98 SE upated
with WU and running IE6.
The other day, I wanted to use Norton Ghost image one of the PCs to
the others. I've done this before, but with problems, so I uninstalled
(device manager) the network card (Realtek 8029).
I made the image file and when I restarted the PC again, installed the
network card and entered the tcp/ip settings.

Every time I use internet explorer I just get "This page cannot be
displayed".
I have double checked all the network settings against working ones.
Network neighborhood isn't working properly either. I have 2 drives
mapped and they work but I don't get a list of PCs in network
neighborhood, just the local one. The mapped drives work fine.
I cannot ping google.com but I can ping other PCs on the LAN and my
DNS server.
I ran spybot [1] and removed anything that showed up (a cookie and a
registry key).
I ran lspfix [2] but it found nothing wrong.
I also ran Winsock2 Fix [3] but also no change.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled TCP/IP (by renaming old files and using
Win98 CD)
I've used the Internet explorer repair tool.


The reason I uninstalled the netwrok card in the first place was
because I have used Norton Ghost to image adn copy the same (type of)
PC before and the same problem occured. I fixed it by using Norton
Ghost to copy disk to disk instead of over the network. I dont want to
have to do that and I'd like to get this PC working fully again.


If anyone has any ideas, post here (email address doesn't work).
I appreciate any help loads.

Thanks,

alan

Are you sure that the card was an 8029? The most common (and cheap) RealTek
is an 8239, for which the drivers are not included natively in win9x.

I eventually got teh solution from microsoft knowledge base. I had to
remove tcp/ip, then delete related registry keys and reinstall.
everything worked fine after. I knew it wasn't the nic drivers because
I had it working previous to using norton ghost. I don't know why
copying a drive with norton ghost caused the problem. seems very
stupid.

all is well now.

thanks.
