TCP/IP
It has become impossible to connect to my ISP. I'm connecting through a modem and I'm constantly getting error 650. I suspect there is something wrong with my TCP/IP-settings, when I connect using my other PC everything works fine. My question is, where does win98 store these settings. I have tried to reinstall by first removing TCP/IP through controlpanel/network and then reinstalling it, but somehow windows seems to remember the old settings. I would like to completly get rid of the old settings and start all over again.

If above doesn't help try going into to Regedit open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Expand the ENUM folder and delete network
reboot. When you reinstall you will need your WIN98CD

If 1cell's comment did not resolve the problem,
Check your modem. Be sure that you don't have a 2x modem dialing to a kfex ISP etc.
Check for the latest drivers for your modem
See if there is a bios flash for your modem.
All failing, try a different modem

Forgot to add that error 650 is
very common for a bad modem.

Thanks to you all but sorry, I've tried it all and nothing helps. Tested the modem on another of my computers and then it worked fine, hence the modem isn't the culprit. I'm running out of ideas here, hope that someone of you can come up with someting.
To pslh: I just dont know. To my knowledgde I have not done anyting that has to do with my network settings.

Who is your ISP?
ASKER
1cell: I don't think that is relevant. Everything works fine if i connect the modem to one of my other computers.

Could be relevant. If you are connecting through an ISP like AOL, Compuserve, etc which uses it's own propietary dialer and networking, it is very possible that reloading the software after uninstalling it will solve the problem.
Have you tried a different modem on the computer that's giving you problems?

1cell: I'm connecting to a swedish ISP using the standard dialer and networking.
Centerv: That's about the only thing I didn't try yet but I suppose I should. I'll get back to you when I've tested this.

1cell: Now I've tested the other modem on the problem-computer. Guess what, error 650. I suppose we can rule out the modem now.
I should also tell you that I'm having problems with my LAN, I can't get the computers to connect anymore. I don't know but maybe this indicates something important?
