Hi Guys,
I currently am using a Dell Win98 Ver 2 computer with a Motorola SB4100
Cable Modem and Charter Pipeline - Cable Modem Internet access. I am also
using Zonealarm Pro Ver 2.6 as my firewall.
My plan was to install a D-Link DI-704P router and then connect up my other
Win98 Ver 2 computer in the shack (a Dell optiplex running on Win 98 Ver 2).
I decided to "test" the router by first connecting it to the upstairs
computer.
I shut down Zonealarm Pro and then hooked up the router and went through the
installation process.
After it was installed, I noticed that I couldn't browse. So I went to the
Appendix and ran the "Ping" test on the gateway address - it passed the
test. But I still couldn't browse or receive e-mail.
I called Charter - my cable/internet provider and was told that Zonealarm
might be the culprit but I thought I remembered Zonealarm asking me about
something and then asking for my password to change it.
I suspect that the Router does work but I am not sure what is "blocking" the
ability of the cable modem and the computer to talk with each other through
the router. I am hoping that someone out there has a Win98 computer with
Zonealarm and the DLink DI-704p router and can tell me what I am missing.
BTW, after removing the router and reinstalling the cable modem settings,
everything works fine again.
Any ideas please or suggestions? Thanks for your help.
