I support a network that has sco-unix openserver 5.0.5 running on the server. There are sixteen workstations all running win98se. My problem is I am trying to replace one of the ws with a xp pc. The network has static ips and the gateway is the router which allows access to the internet through a lanmodem. The dns is set for the internet server. When I attempt to connect the xp to the network I cannot join the domain. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the host ip, however I cannot ping any other pc or router. The server ip is 192.168.0.1 and the xp's ip is 192.168.0.11 and the router's is 192.168.0.25.
 
Whats your netmask on the XP machine? Opening it to 255.255.255.0 should alow it to see all the 192.168.0.x machines/routers.

Thanks for your help. It turned out to be a defective nic. I was thrown off because the xp pc connected fine to our network in the shop.
