My Windows 98 computer, when I run winipcfg, reports "fatal error, cannot read IP configuration."
Started today. Used it earlier when BellSouth was helping me to get my w98 to connect to the internet, and it worked.
Additional problems:
Could only get to internet with w98 connected directly to the Westell modem. Would not, and still won't, connect through my D-Link router.
The router works. Current setup is three computers connected to router, w98, wxp, wxp-laptop. wxp and wxp-laptop see each other on network, but w98 can't access network or be seen by the others. wxp and wxp-laptop access internet.
The D-link network adapter card in the w98 is working according to Device Manager, but BellSouth's Connection Manager (that they say is worthless) says it is a Network adaptor error.
On wxp, when I type ipconfig, it displays, but instantly closes, so that it is impossible to see what it says.
There are thus several problems, but my first concern is the winipcfg failure.
Can you help?
