Dial up with a workgroup
Jamie C Williams
Thanks - that can help but I do not want to share my Internet connection. I
just want my Win98 machine to be able to dial up to the Web and the NT4
workstation machine to just have network cabilities to the LAN (which is
only 2 PCs!).
Is there no way of doing that?

I apologize, I thought you had multiple NIC's and wanted to enable
Sharing.
In this instance what you need to do is setup you Network card for the
TCP/IP Properties that you have internal to you system with static
addesses
like normal and since it is a small network you should not have DNS
disabled on the TCP/IP -> Network Adapter properties (Network Adapter
being
whichever network card you actually have). You should be pulling all of
your TCP/IP properties bound to your modem from their server. If you
are
unable to get DNS working then verify you are indeed pulling down their
DNS
servers when you are assigned your IP address. To do this, after you
log
on to your Internet Service Provider, go to Start-Run then type in
"winipcfg /all" (without the quotation marks). Under Adapter
Information
make sure it says PPP Adapter, then look towards the top beside DNS
Servers
and verify you have the correct number in there (your ISP should be able
to
tell you which DNS Servers they are using). If you do not have anything
in
that box then you can manually add your DNS Servers to TCP/IP -> Dial Up
Adapter under DNS Configuration, just make sure your ISP gives you the
correct addresses to put in. If you have any more questions please let

Thank you for using Microsoft Direct Access Support.
My name is Michael and I would like to offer my assistance with this
issue.
First, to answer your question on the possibility of having a network
and a
dialup working at the same time, yes this is possible and usually very
easy.
But for your Internet explorer not being able to view web pages, we will
need more information on how you have the system with the network
adapter
and the modem on.
We need to know how you have the TCP/IP protocol for the network adapter
configured. Then we need to know what else you have installed for
networking.
Depending on how you have it setup you should only need a few things in
the
networking control panel.
If the NT4 system is running workstation then both the NT4 and windows
98
system should be configured for static IP and an IP assigned to them in
the
TCP/IP protocol for the network adapter as well you will need a subnet
mask
assigned.
So for instance the NT4 system would have an IP of 192.168.0.1 and a
subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 and the Windows 98 system would have an IP of
192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 neither of them should
have
an entry for gateway, DNS, WINS.
If you have NT4 server running as a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) with
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) installed and configured so
your
NT4 server will configure your TCP/IP settings automatically.
Then I would say check your settings in the DHCP configuration you had
setup.
But in either case you should have the Client for Microsoft Networks
installed on both systems and bound to the network adapter through the
bindings tab in the TCP/IP Protocol for the network adapter.
I would also suggest that you install File and Printer Sharing Service,
which can be installed from the service section in the add button of the
network control panel, and also bind it to the network adapter I the
TCP/IP
settings for the network adapter.
