VT6X4 and TCP/IP

[Rich Early]

I think I have had two VT6X4 motherboards now where, with a PCI network card installed, TCP/IP stops working. I can ping URLs, I can connect with Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, etc., but Internet Explorer just doesn't work, even on a clean install of WIN98SE. The network cards wqork fine in other PCs. When the first one went, I thought maybe I burned out something on the mobo. Now that the second one is exhibiting the same behavior, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Thanks.

Is your ISP requiring you to use a Proxy?

As you might already know, pinging is a UDP (control) message and not a TCP message.

Nope, no proxies required or in, although ad-delete and other popup interceptors from time to time worked fine, tcp/ip won't even work with a direct connection. WINIPCFG releases and renews the IP just fine, just can't get to any web pages.
