Well, I've made my next step and have the three machines able to ping on
another. And the Windows machines can access the web server on the Linux box.
So I'm feeling great about that. I'm not sure what all hoops I had to jump
through to accomplish this, but I think they were all on the Windows machines
and involved uninstalls and installs of network cards and setting their IP
addresses and sub-net masks to be consistent with what I had set on the Linux
box.
But at this point I have a problem that is not at all Linux related, but is
networking related: I cannot access domains on the Internet (not at all, not
the DNS or the actual domains if I type in the IP address) from the Windows 95
machine. (The Windows 98 one works fine.) I've compared settings. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled. All without success. If I remember properly this
is not a new problem: I found that I had TCP/IP disabled on the network
card on the 95 machine and when I enabled it the Internet stuff stopped
working. It is as if the system uses the network TCP/IP instead of the dial-up
TCP/IP if the former exists.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
