I have a home network and cannot connect to the Internet or email with the above PC. I can connect to the network and all other PCs work fine.
One thing that I have noticed when I run winipcfg for this PC is that the "IP Routing Enabled" box is checked on this PC.
Not sure if this is the problem but I would like to change this since it is the only PC that has it checked.
Thanks

describe how your home nw is configured (using a router ? what is the OS of all machines on the nw? dial-up/cable/dsl? etc...)

There are 2 PCs on the network both linked to a Netgear RP114 Router -
PC1= Windows ME
PC2 Win98 SEThe Router is linked to an ADSL modem supplied by the telco.
PC1 works fine in all respects (network, email,internet).
PC2 can access PC1 and a printer on PC1 on the network but cannot access email or the internet via the router. (It also cannot access email or internet using dial-up).
The problem really stared when I uninstalled Windows ME from PC2 in order to revert back to Win98.
I do not understand how or why the "IP Routing Enabled" box got checked on PC2 - I have never seen this before on PC1 or PC2 previously or any other PC that I have hooked on the network.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
