Wanting to know if there is a way to automatically update TCP/IP --> DNS settings in Windows 98. Maybe looking for a way to do this via a script or some other way. I have about 45 Win98 PCs in the office and our DNS settings change for dial-up users constantly. Thanks

Tough to say. Can you gather that info from your DHCP server? Can you switch to static IP?

In my experience, DNS settings are disabled in 98 when using DHCP, else certain things don't work right; this may be the situation at my job only, though. May I ask what you are trying to accomplish through this?

Been a while since dial-up, but if I remember correctly, there is an option to allow the ISP that you are dialing to assign the DNS/IP/SDNS etc automatically. Should be easy to do, but then again it's been awhile since dial-up.

Good luck! ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
