I have SWBell DSL. The DSL modem is connected to an RT314 router, which is in turn connected to 3 computers. On one of the computers, internet access just quit working. I couldn't check my email, load a webpage, or connect with my chat programs. The router is not the problem, as I connected the modem directly to this computer and used the PPPoE software to connect. The software connected, but I still couldn't access the internet. My computer can still see across this network to other computers, but this might be because I also have ipx/spx and NetBEUI installed.
I think I found one clue when using Trillian to connect to my AIM account; it gives me an error message, saying it "Couldn't create socket." IE just spits out a cannot load webpage message, and Outlook express just says it cannot find the mail server. It's the Trillian error message, though, that leads me to belive my connection is fine, but that there may be something screwed up in Winblows (98se, BTW.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: My system in trouble is the one listed in my sig. At the time of this happening, I was using DHCP from the router on this computer.
