Hi all.
Months ago I installed Windows 98 and it worked perfectly, with audio and adsl properly working.
I've recently bought a new router (D-Link DSL-G624T) and internet doesn't work any more. I've 3 devices on my lan (desktop 192.168.1.2, Laptop1 192.168.1.3 and Laptop2 192.168.1.6).
In the "Network Adapter" window I've selected "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network" and in Windows 98 I can get in my router' wireless setup, but I can't surf, because everytime I get the page I've attached in this post; I've tried to check NAT or Host Only but it's the same...
What can I do?
Thank you in advance

So it is all in your Internet Explorer settings. Check (post) them all.
Which version do you use?
Please post/attach results of "IPCONFIG /ALL" on your physical machine.
PLease post/attach a screenshot of "winipcfg" from Win98 guest.
Please post/attach "vmware.log" file from Win98 guest directory on physical machine.
Wrong log. Search for it:
cmd attrib C:\vmware.log /s |
You are not using bridged connection now.
ethernet0.connectionType = nat ethernet0.vnet = VMnet1 |
Restart Workstation and restart guest, then post/attach "vmware.log" again.
Good. Disable XP firewall and try from your Win98 guest ping your XP host:
ping 192.168.1.2
Does it work? Does your guest still have 192.168.1.5 IP address.
Can you ping guest itself?
ping 192.168.1.5
Yes, I can ping 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.5 both without any problem. XP firewall is disabled.
Can you ping your gateway?
ping 192.168.1.1
Can you add DNS of 4.2.2.2 in TCP/IP settings?
Like shown here:

I've just discovered that my XP' virtual machine internet connection works fine.
I chose NAT network in vmware settings.
As you can see in the screenshot, XP uses others IP, another Gateway, another DHCP server...:0 I'm confused!
There are also 30 minutes among the starting lease and the final lease (how can I extend the interval?).
Thanks for you help!
Lease can be extended by modifying those settings in vmnetdhcp.conf
default-lease-time 1800; max-lease-time 7200; |
Try to ping this address from Win98 guest:
ping 68.180.206.184 |
If it doesn't work try to determine where it breaks:
tracert 68.180.206.184 |
For the lease time, I found vmnetdhcp.conf in X:\documents and settings\all user.
I modified 1800 to 180000 and 7200 to 720000 but there are always 30 minutes among the starting and the final lease.
