I have 9 pc's (all Win 95) connected to a hub. Connected to the same hub is a NT Server (BDC). Connected to the hub is a Cisco 772m Router with an ISDN line going back to the home office network.

The NT server authenticates the 9 pc's just fine and the NT server can ping the 772 router and connect back to the home office network, but the 9 win 95 pc's can't ping the router and can't get back to the home office network.

The 9 pc's have only TCP/IP and MS client installed as does the server. The Win 95's have a DNS server specified (which is back at the home office network). The Win 95's can't ping the 772 router even thou they are connected directly to the same hub as the NT server. The Win 95's can ping each other and the NT Server, but not the 772 router? WHY??????

Sometimes, after I reboot the router a couple times, all of the sudden the Win 95 pc's can ping it and get back to the home office network?
Now, the NT server can always always see the router and the home office network regardless of whether the 772 router is rebooted or not. It seems to me I have a win95/772 router issue, but what. Any helps would be great. [sig][/sig]
