    Strangely enough, when our NT 4.0 server is unavailable to the network, Web browsing is not possible from any Windows 98 workstation.

    We do not run a proxy server-rather the workstations' gateway address is our hardware firewall. Further, the DNS is set to that of our ISP.

    Weird - any help would be great, thanks!

    Does the NT machine assign workstation IP's or do the workstations get their IP's from the hardware firewall. ( a router I presume)

    Is DHCP being used or are teh IP's for workstations static (asigned by the NT mahine)?

    What are te connection setings for the workstations? (Internet Options/Connection Tab)

    Could be also that the workstations are all configured to use a HOSTS file on the NT box.

    We don't use DHCP, manually assigned IPs only though we do NAT from the firewall.

    Internet Options is in pretty much blank, no proxy server, no automatic settings.

    I didn't purposefully use a networked host file, I thought it required that it live in c:\windows...? Is there a way to check?

    Thanks!
