Hi Steve,
I checked the default gateway entry as you wrote and there
is only one entry - the WLAN router. Meanwhile I can
describe my problem more detailed. It is not restricted to
Win98 but also occures on a Win2k machine. I found out that
http request are sent to the LAN instead of the WLAN (don'n
know yet about ftp or similar protocols), while , for
instance, a SSH session or a ping to an external IP go to
the WLAN as intended. Seems as if the http requests are
directed to the first network connection the system can
find and this is obviously the LAN on the NIC. This view is
supported by the fact, that I can reach thi intrnet via
WLAN when first disablind the NIC in the device manager,
starting the browser an calling some pages and then
re-enable the NIC. If I do so, I have Internet connection
via the WLAN and connection to other computers on the LAN
at the same time until I restart my machine (without
disabling the NIC before). Could my problem have to do with
the fact, that the WLAN router (and hence the default
gateway) has an IP address that lies within the LAN subnet
(I did so to be able to connect to the WLAN router via the
NIC for configuration etc).
Regards,
Jens
