When the Win9x box is up, from the Start:Run option, type in
"winipcfg" (No quotes obviously)
and hit return, you should get a window pop up and tell you all the Win9x
IP settings.
Make sure the subnet mask is correct.
At least that way you can confirm the settings of your network card.
Also from a DOS prompt, type in " route print" to see the routing table,
make sure the table is correct.
From DOS ping the interface on the Win9x box.. It should work.
At least we have a starting point.
Come back if more help needed.
