Sort of a network/Internet problem

[witch]

I'm sure I am missing something really easy - I have just rebuilt a machine and put in the networkcard, drivers etc - now the machine can log on to the network fine and see everyone else but it cannot see the internet.

The proxy details are all in properly and there are no errors anywhere that I can see.

I have had this before on a machine but can't remember what it was or what I did!

I'm sure it is really simple

I hope so!

Do you use onsite web filtering or at LEA/RBC?

If so are the default gateway and DNS correct?

 

Is it the same network card? i.e. do you use MAC specific web filtering?

 

This could also have a bearing if you use ISA,Censornet etc. on-site.

Web filtering is not done on site

Default gateway and DNS fine

Same network card as what?It is the original card out of the machine - had to reinstall drivers as put new HD in.

Am currently trying to put in another one just to see if any difference - currently can't get the drivers in at all!!

don't use anything like ISA or Censornet on site

 

This is a very basic system - a Win 98 machine hanging off an NT4 server

We are the Easyjet of the school computing world - no frills!

If you're using Proxy Server 2 on the NT4 server, have you reinstalled the Proxy Client on the Win98 PC?

Reinstalled the proxy client files - all working now

 

Thanks a lot!
