    Win 98 start up problem

    I was checking my email when my computer froze up completely. I had to restart. When I did, the only thing I saw was a blinking cursor! I've restarted several times and I keep seeing the same thing. I can start in safe mode, but with only minimal drivers, so I can't even access the internet...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    Good morning! My husband's computer is now working fine! Of course, he DID have to format BOTH drives and start all over again, but he is able to access the internet with both now. He formatted the other drive because he was getting a lot of illegal operations on the C: drive. Well, God bless...

So, my husband has now formatted both his hard drives and is starting all over from scratch. Win. 98 is now able to access the internet. XP will be the next...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    It didn't work. :( Does it sound like a bad network card to you? It does to my husband. It is sending packets, but is not receiving any. The problem computer does not SEE any other computers in the Network neighborhood in either 98 or XP. But, the internet still works on 98 only. Let me know if...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    People, I am so sorry for the misunderstanding! I should have said that it is a Linksys ROUTER and a RCA cable MODEM. All computers involved are connected by the router. All the cables are working fine. Each computer have cards installed. We are NOT using the ICS. We're getting ready to try...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    We are using a Linksys router with a cable modem. We are NOT using the ICS at all. The IP of the "gateway" computer is 192.168.1.1. It is working OK. The IP of the other computer that is working fine is 192.168.1.103. The IP of the computer that will NOT access the internet using Win...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    The PC beside the one with the problem is physiclly attached to the cable modem. The other two PC's access the internet through a LAN system. They all USED to be networked. Now, we have lost that connection. We are no longer networked and cannot share files. We've set up the network several...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    I'm using a Linksys broadband cable modem. I have three computers that have been working fine with it. The one with dual XP and Windows 98 is the one I'm concerned with. I cannot connect to the internet using XP. I don't really care, but my husband does. He prefers XP and intends to use it. He's...

    I cannot connect to the internet with XP.

    My computer dual boots into XP and 98. It has been working fine that way for several months. The other day it simply lost the internet connection in XP only! I have tried to ipconfig renew and release it, but to no avail. I have even reinstalled XP. When I go to the repair tool, it simply says...
