This may not be the right forum for my question but I'm desperate and thought you guys may be able to help. Last week I put a dsl box into an office I do some contracting for and then put a soho2 firewall in place. Now all the New Dell workstations (running xp)and hp printers can connect no problem to the domain and the outside world but 2 old dog machines running 98 and millenium can't and neither can a Dell inspiron 7000 running millenium. They are all on real world address'. (Don't ask me why I only arrived at the office the day before the dsl box went in)Now I thought it could be a dodgy port on the hub but I've plugged the inspiron into a known working port but still nothing. when I ipconfig/all the details are correct and all the other settings in the network properties seem correct but I just can't connect to anything or ping anywhere. I've un-installed and re-installed the cards and protocols but still nothing. The light on the cards are flashing but not on the hub. What am I missing? Please please please I'm desperate. I'm only at that office a few hours a week and it's taking all my time. I need to beat this and hope you can help. chrisjb@onetel.com
