Windows XP Networking Problem

[sduraiappan]

I am having many nodes in my office. Some systems has Windows 98 OS and Some has Windows XP OS.

I have a broadband router and its ip address is 10.10.1.235.

I configured in Windows 98 as follows:
system IP 10.10.1.93
Subnetmask 255.0.0.0
Gateway 10.10.1.235 (router IP)
DNS 61.1.96.69 & 61.1.96.72
WINS 10.10.1.250 (my windows 2000 server IP)

I can browse internet and access all systems in the network.

I configured in Windows XP as follows:
system IP 10.10.1.72
Subnetmask 255.0.0.0
Gateway 10.10.1.235 (router IP)
DNS 61.1.96.69 & 61.1.96.72
WINS 10.10.1.250 (my windows 2000 server IP)

While configuring like this I can browse internet and I cannot access other nodes and server.
If i change the gateway to 10.10.1.250 (server IP) i can acess server and all other systems. But i cannot browse internet.

Kindly tell me how i have to configure so that i can browse internet and access other systems in the local area network.

Hello,
If i am right, you can access both Internet and other nodes in win98, but cannot access nodes from Winxp.

First try this: Turn on File and printer sharing from windows firewall in winxp.....or if you are using Zonealarm or other firewall, turn it off and see if it works....!!

Thanks for your reply.

I have enabled file sharing option and i dont have any firewall in xp. I have only windows firewall enabled.

Any other solutions?

Ok ,

Disable the windows firewall.

Check if the "workgroup" name is the matches with other clients.

Also you can try this: set "obtain IP address automatically" on all the clients.

Run the network wizard from XP.....!!
