Title: NT crap!
Post by: Stephan Goeldi on March 22, 2001, 01:11:00 PM

After a complete new parallel installation of micros~1.oft NT I was able to receive an IP address from the e-smith-server and to connect to the internet, setting up an i-bay etc.

I was happy and went to sleep last night. E-smith was not shut down. This morning I started NT up and wanted to connect again. It didn't. Network Neighborhood doesn't show anything. Ipconfig /all gives me the following information (in german):

Windows NT IP-Konfiguration

   Host-Name . . . . . . . . . : buero.e-smith-server
   DNS-Server. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

   Lease l„uft ab. . . . . . . : Donnerstag, 22. M„rz 2001 21:29:21


route print shows me the following:

Aktive Routen:

     0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0      192.168.1.1    192.168.1.65       1
   127.0.0.0        255.0.0.0        127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       1
      192.168.1.0    255.255.255.0     192.168.1.65    192.168.1.65       1
     192.168.1.65  255.255.255.255        127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       1
    192.168.1.255  255.255.255.255     192.168.1.65    192.168.1.65       1
   224.0.0.0        224.0.0.0     192.168.1.65    192.168.1.65       1
  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255     192.168.1.65    192.168.1.65       1


These are my network settings in NT (perhaps bad translated from german):

Workgroup = E-SMITH

Installed Services:
Workstationservice
Computer Search Service
Simple TCP/IP Services
NetBIOS Interface
RPC Configuration
Server Service

Installed Protocol is only TCP/IP
Receive IP-Address from DHCP
DNS = 192.168.1.1
Host name ist the Computer name of the Workstation (buero)
Primary WINS server = 192.168.1.1
LMHOSTS is activated, DNS not
Routing: IP Forwarding is not active


So my workstation receives an IP address from the server. I cannot do a Ping. It shows me a timeout. I don't understand why it worked last night without any problem and this morning, without any other change, it doesn't work anymore. I know that most people say "I didn't change anything on the workstation", and I know that this is not true in most cases, but in this case I did change absolutely nothing.

By the way: After the first try this morning I shut down both and made a very COLD reboot (after waiting for about 30 seconds).

Did I miss something?

Stephan,

I'm having the same problem.  For some reason my wife's computer doesn't have the problem.  She's running 98.  I'm running second edition.  It looks like another MS blocking "enhancement."

Title: It was the NIC!
Post by: Stephan Goeldi on March 25, 2001, 03:30:19 PM

Windows NT seems to reconfigure the NIC.
I had to deactivate the "automatic" feature of the NIC.
Then I had to floppy boot the e-smith machine to DOS and start 3c90xcfg.exe. I set up the same settings on the e-smith NIC and then it was fine.
