RE: ISDN and windowsME

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

is there a DHCP server?  if so, just do ipconfig /renewall or /renew (one of
those...).  If not:

1.  does the machine have a name?  If so, do an nslookup on that name on one
of the other machines, and get the IP address that way, and manually
reconfig.

2.  if it doesn't have a DNS record, pick an unused IP address in the subnet
and apply it.

Get the DNS and gateway settings from one of the other machines, they should
be identical.

Subject: ISDN and windowsME


Ok, first off this is not a Linux related question. I:m just in a heap of 
trouble and I figured someone on this list might be able to help me, seeing 
it:s computer related and y'all know so much about 'puters and stuff.

Feel free to flame me or deny me a seat at tomorrow's nomikai.

But to make up for it I do offer a free beer to whoever can help?

I:ve just screwed up someone:s office LAN and I need to get back up ASAP 
before they start getting *really* upset.

Basically it:s a LAN where all the PCs are running win98 and connected to a 
hub which then connects to an ISDN TA which is connected to some FLETS 
thing. I *have* no experience with ISDN and FLETS hence my predicament.

The problem is that I erased the network setting for a windowsME machine and

I can:t get back up on the LAN/internet. Help!

I:ve tried copying thw win98 settings into WinME but the win98 settings 
(using ipconfig /all) say silly thing like the ip address of the machine is 
0.0.0.0 and the DNS server is 255.255.255.255 ... and there is no defautl 
gateway or anything else I am used to seeing.

Can someone help me out?
