Win 98 not SE
started with AOPEN NIC
I came home and found the NIC card dislodged(don't ask). used for CABLE MODEM
I pulled it out- reboot
Shut down then reinstalled and boot, finally reinstalled the drivers (some difficulty here getting win98 to recognize the cards -had to take a couple of trys)
bind IP to the NIC
reenter my cable machine id
Win98 APPS now reports it is unable to establish the socket
same error for PING and WINIPCFG
I have now gone thru a few iterations of the above with different NICs, reinstalled WIN98 over itself
and no change-in fact I can't even get dialup networking to work-it dials and connects but again no socket.
Any ideas to get me past my mental rut?
