Win95 network problem: won't let me set DHCP?

[Arschloch]

First, this is not my box. It's my gf's. I can't put up with Win95 anymore.

She's on a school network (on-campus). Her local network -does- work on her computer, but not the internet. Almost everything seems to be just fine -- no hardware conflicts, the net card and cable appear to be working fine (since the local network is fine), the net card is installed correctly in Windows, and the TCP/IP protocol is installed.

The one setting that doesn't seem to be right is WINS Configuration. I am 100% certain that it needs to be set to use DHCP for WINS. So, I set that. However, when I reboot, Windows has set it to "Disable WINS." It apparently will not keep it at DHCP.

Any help? Suggestions? Has anyone seen something similar?

Thanks in advance.

well, I hate to be a d!ck, but you could try posting in the right forum..

Woops.

I spend so much time in ATOT that I went to this board without thinking. It's now posted in Tech Support.

actually, the correct place is networking...

You don't think this qualifies as Tech Support? I think of Tech Support as a 'catch all' of sorts.

Another vote for posting in the networking forum. Some great regulars that might be able to help you out.

Might warrant a post in operating systems as well....

Take down all network settings on a piece of paper, remove, and reinstall TCP/IP. If that doesn't work, dunno.
