Internet not working?

So just finished my comp, it is working great, except for internet.

I have reformatted twice to see if that would fix it, but it hasn't.

I tried the ipconfig in dos prompt, and it only showed the subnet mask and IP Address.

Isn't the default gateway supposed to show up?

I use a router, and sometimes when I reformat I need to remove my ethernet card and put it back in, I have tried this, still not working.

By the way I am using a 3com card on a a7v333 mb.

Oh and my other two computers that are hooked up to the router work fine...and I am using windows xp pro on my new comp, 98 on the other two.

Any help is appreciated.

I put in manually for the default gateway
192.168.1.1, and I can now ping it, but my internet still doesn't work.

How do I find out what my dns is?(If that is what is causing it not to work...)
 
can you ping the 98 machines?? on the 98 machines click start -> run -> type winipcfg. on the xp pro machine go to ur local area connection properties. select internet protocol and duplicate the settings that you found on the 98 machines. if that doesn't work open up a DOS window and run ipconfig /all, take a screen shot and post it.

OMG it just started working lol, no idea why, just all of a sudden it works!

I guess setting to the same had to take a few mins for it to work.

Thanks though!

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. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
