Hello.
I am not a tech but sometimes have to work as one.
We have computers ranging from Pentiums to Pentium 4 running Win 95, Win 98, and Win 2000.
Basically, if we use static IP addresses, 198.189.40.xxx we don't have Internet or e-mail problems.
If we use DHCP addresses, 10.2.16.xxx, we cannot access most e-mail sites, i.e. AOL, Hot Mail. I tried using DHCP on one Win 95 machine and could not access the Netscape site. I switched to static and the problems went away.
One really screwy item that messes up the above information is that we have one person with a local provider and e-mail, Sunset Net, that can be accessed from both DHCP and static machines.
Please advise any suggestions.
