Ping error

[Eli]

I have two W98 and one W95 machines on my home network here. Using the "ping" command from a DOS box, the W98 machines can ping eachother and the W95 machine, but the W95 machine gives the error "transmit failed, error code 10043" when I try to ping either W98 machine. I installed DUN 1.3 on the W95 machine with no change. All three machines have the same protocols (TCP/IP, IPX, Netbeui) set up the same, except for their IP addresses of course. Any ideas? I'd try upgrading to W98 but the hard drive is too small. Thanks for any suggestions.

Is TCP/IP setup for your default protocol on all three machines? Try doing that...(goto the network settings, click on the TCP/IP for the NIC and then its under one of those tabs at the bottom).
That'd be the only reason I can think it wouldnt work. Can the 95 machine see the 98's in network neighborhood?

dont install any protocols that youre not
using, sounds like you dont need IPX..
remove client and all protocols from the
W95 machine and reload...sometimes if you
remove the protocol without removing client
it corrupts tcp/ip

Actually I do need IPX (Warcraft 2 was a big reason to set up the network in the first place... lol) All machines can see eachother just fine in Network Neighborhood, and the IPX protocol works fine for Warcraft 2. I do not have TCP/IP checked as the default protocol. I'll try that next. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I tried setting TCP/IP as the default protocol with no change. Then I removed everything under network properties and reinstalled only TCP/IP. I could see and access the other computers just fine, but the "ping" command still gave me the same error code. It can't even ping it's own IP, which the two W98 machines can do just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
