XP, Windows 98 and Netgear problem

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have been using a Netgear MR814 Router and Netgear MA101 wireless
adapter for over a year now. I just upgraded from ME to XP Home
Edition on the host computer. I think I have tried everything possible
to get the Win98 PC with wireless adapter to connect to the internet,
email and IM and cannot seem to find what I am missing. When I
originally did the network, it was plug and play. It worked great.

I also have PC-cillin running on both computers.

I can ping 68.142.226.41 but nothing when I try www.comcast.net or
www.yahoo.com on the WIN 98 PC.

Home set up is basic - two Dell PCs - host PC 4100 P3 running XP with
SP2 other PC - Dell Optiplex P2. Motorola SB4200 Surfboard Cable Modem
connected to Netgear MR814 Router

Any help is appreciated.

Where would I set that up? In the Router setup?
I don't recall having to do that when I first set it this up before
the upgrade to XP on the host.

What meant was the 4100 has the connection to the internet - cable
modem into mr814 router..
The 98 was accessing the internet, email fine and then stopped after
the 4100 was upgraded to XP.

meant to add:

on win98: to make sure dns is running:-
1.. Click on the Network icon in Control Panel.
2.. Select TCP/IP Protocol and click Properties
3.. Select Bindings and ensure Client for Microsoft Networks is ticked
4.. Select DNS, tick Enable DNS, enter a host name - e.g win98home in
Host and I think anything again in Domain
5.. Type 192.168.0.1 in DNS server search order and click Add
This is assuming that dns is enabled and setup properly on the router, and
the win98 machine is not picking it up. Someone else may correct me for the
host and domain bit, but I think they are only really useful if you have
your own domain name so I don't think the hostname / domain matter much
other than you have to have something in them.
