Our network has one server, which has sco openserver 5.0.5 as a operating system. We have 16 workstations which are all running win98. We have static ips and connect to the internet through a lanmodem (cable) with the gateway being the static ip of the router (192.168.0.25). The network works fine. The problem is we are replacing one of the win98 workstations with a xp pro workstation and the xp can't fing the network. We have set the static ip and related configureations the same as the win98 pc had. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The problem seems to be with the dns settings?

Can you ping the xp station from the sco server?
This may sound strange, but I had a similar problem with an xp setup not long ago.
I was able to ping the xp from sco, but not vice versa. I rebooted the xp machine and it cleared up.
Someone in the forums suggested that my nics might be causing the problem, but to me that sounds like "xp doesn't like your nics, and is causing a problem". Incidently, the problem has never reoccured.
