Win2000 and @home

[Maurice]

I've posted this question on another forum but I believe this one might be
more appropriate. Sorry for cross posting.

I did a clean install of Win2000. Everything went well. Network card
detected, device also reports that it's working fine. Protocols installed.
Yet I can't connect to the @home Internet system.
Although my IP is dynamically assigned. The only difference I can see from
the Win98 installation that works fine. Is the fact that if I PING myself I
have a 169.xxx address instead of the usual 24.xxx.xx I get when I connect
using Win98.

Could someone please shed some light.

Thanks,
Maurice.

Check to be sure that the DNS info is correct (i.e. system name, domain
name, DNS server addresses)

I can't use the network if I disable DNS...
