Win95 Network problem: won't let me set WINS to 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.

see if you can ping internet ip's, and if you can just have her comp. point to a couple of dns servers.

I did try that. Won't ping any internet IP's. And when I ping 127.0.0.1, it won't do that and it gives me error code 10091. Not good.
More help?
