One of the computers on our 4-machine home network can't connect with the internet. We are sharing a DSL connection with AnalogX Proxy (working great).
The machine in question is able to ping the other machines on the network, including the host with no difficulty whatsoever (typically less than 1 ms, never more than 2).
Have spent HOURS reinstalling network adapters, reinstalling Win98 SE, etc., etc., attempting to repair IE 5, with no success. When I ping an IP address (207.46.103.149 - microsoft.com) at a dos prompt, I get socket error 10043, which the micorsoft knowledge base describes as protocol not supported / the requested protocol has not been configured into the system.
Other than wiping the hard drive clean and starting over, does anyone have any ideas on how go get my daughter back on line?
