Can someone please explain to me if possible why is it that a Win98 machine which is setup to static IP address finds the server for about two days and then it cannot find the server after that.
The Win98 machine is networked to a XP pro machine which used cable modem to connect.
The XP Pro machine has a local area connection icon with settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.t
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preffered DNS server: 24.153.22.67
and has client for MS,NetBeui,TCP/IP,File and printer sharing installed as well.
While the 98se machine has settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.x
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 24.153.22.67
These settings have worked for me for about two days and then it just can't find server each time after. I cannot seemed to understand why it cannot find the server or the cause for it to loose connection with the server, forgive I'm just a beginner to this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
