Some progress at last.
I disabled the Loopback Adapter on the W2K box and I can now ping th egateway and the other notebook on the network. Bu twhen i try to ping the DNS IP it fails and therefore the borwser and email cannot resolve their servers.
The output from "pathping 213.120.62.103 -n" (the DNS address on the ISP I use) is
Code:
Tracing route to 213.120.62.103 over a maximum of 30 hops
0 10.0.0.6
1 10.0.0.1
2 ...
Computing statistics for 50 seconds...
etc
The part in the etc above shows 100% packet loss between 10.0.0.1 (the gateway and 0.0.0.0. I don't know what the0.0.0.0 represents though but it is the last hop.
Any ideas what to do next?
