OT I was going to respond via PM but figured some others might want to know an old trick. Open either a DOS Prompt in Win 98 or else a Command Prompt in Win 2K. Type in ipconfig /all You will see a lot of stuff appear on the screen. Host Name = Your machine's Name a period then the name of your network or Domain. This is how you can find out a domain when adding a new machine to a network. Just use Domain name of an old computer on your new one then give the new machine a unique computer name. DNS Server = The computer that is assigning the IP address on your machine. If you are running a router this will be the IP address of your router. If you are running a ICN on just a binch of computers tied together on a hub, it will be the address of the head computer or Server. If you are hooked directly to your ISP, you can usually see the Router at the entrance to the ISP. This comes in handy to write down when you want to ping something later to see if you are getting out. You should see "NetBios Resolution Uses DNS" as a "Yes" Other settings before it can all be "No" It will also have Ethernet Adapter as a heading with information. Desription = stuff about your LAN or Ethernet card. You don't care about this. Physical Address = The Hard wired, burned in permanent address of your Network card. Never give this out to anybody as it is a hackers dream to get this static IP address as it is an always open door to your computer. It will read as a series of two alpha numeric characters and is the door to your LAN card that is set at the factory. The first half identifies the manufacturer and the last half is a unique address/serial number. It looks something like FA-56-BC-23-E2-67 DHCP Enabled = Should be yes as tis is what says that IP address can be assigned by the server, router etc. IP Address This is how you find out the IP Address of your machine. Each machine on a network will have a different IP Address but they will generally have the samefirst 3 areas the same with only the last position different. Subnet Mask = This is kind of like a Domain in that all computers on a network will have the same number so they can see each other. Most times this is set to 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway = Is the short cut or first place the computer should look to get out or get assigned an IP address. Tis will usually be the same as the DNS Server address above. DHCP Server = Same as above Rest doesn't matter although under "Lease Obtained" you can see when your ISP last assigned your IP address. Typing in ipconfig without the /all will give you the short version of just your IP Address, Subnet mask and default gateway. I prefer the /all option as it shows my computer name and Domain for setting up other computers on networks and arms me with most of the info I need such as subnet mask, DHCP server address. Good Luck, Lee
