My other computer BROKE virus...So I got to use this one from now on, but thiers a problem with the internet, I type in the IPs I got from my ISP in the TCI/IP thing, and click OK. Internet works...But like 10 minutes later the internet just stops working!! the only way I find to fix this and make it work again Is uninstall the ethernet, then restart computer, and re-enter the IP and DNS's...Someone had a simular problem?? Can you help me, thanks!!!

Its really confusing me!!!
 
You mentioned that you're typing in an IP address manually in your TCP/IP settings. Are you sure your ISP provides a static IP address? If it's a dynamic IP, your DHCP lease might be expiring, which might be causing the disconnection. You could try using the "Automatically obtain IP address" setting just to make sure.
 
Yeah, My ISP provided me with information to put in the settings, and do the automatic thing does not work...perhaps thiers something else wrong?? And it's static..
Thanks
 
I think I have fixed this problem. What I did is click Star -> Run -> and typed in 'services.msc'. And shut-down DHCP Client...I just guessed and stopped it, and my net works now, so if anyone else has a problem like this...
 
Glad you got it fixed, and thanks for posting the solution for future reference :)

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. :(
