Ralph, that is what the Eastman Kodak webmaster asked me when I told him of the
outcome. In general, my ISP assigned an IP address for my TCP/IP adapter card.
The details are below.
In the 'Network' Control Panel,
Configuration Tab: I selected TCP/IP D-Link D FE-538TX 10/100 adapter (my
ethernet card) and clicked on Properties. There in the IP Address Tab I
selected 'specify an IP Address' and put in one in. (I
questioned that; IP addresses are assigned dynamically; she said that it
reduces confusion(?!) if there is a specified address, but just in the ethernet
card).
DNS Configuration Tab: Make sure 'Disable DNS' is selected.
In the WINS Configuration Tab: Make sure WINS Resolution is disabled.
Then I selected in Network Configuration: TCP/IP Network TeleSystems P.P.P.o.E.
Adapter (NTSP3)
Clicked on 'Properties'. In the IP Address tab, select Obtain IP Address
Automatically.
In the DNS Configuration tab, make sure the selection is 'Disable DNS'.
In the WINS Configuration Tab: Make sure WINS Resolution is disabled.
Later, I checked the dynamic IP address against the one assigned for the
adapter... they were *not* the same.
Regards, Jerry
