Hello, I have a fully working Windows 98 build with a Pentium 3 that most of you might already know, since we've discussed stuff about it in the past.
The network on it used to work flawlessly, with a dedicated PCI card, now I am facing a very weird issue: if I connect it with a cable straight to the router, where my server with the shares is, it gets the same subnet, but doesn't see any other pc on the "Network Neighborhood" (lan) except itself (I only see the Pentium 3's own shares there) and the other PCs don't see it neither.
If I connect it to a switch, it gets another subnet, but sees and can ping the server and the other computers on the lan, but the other computers can't see it and can't even ping it, how is this possible?
Furthermore, I can't even access the shares anymore since when I try to get in it, it asks for a password which doesn't exist since I've disabled the password protected sharing on the windows server... and it used to work just fine before, this just randomly happened.
Currently assembled vintage computers I own: 11
Most important ones:
A "modded" Olivetti M4 434 S (currently broken).
An Epson El Plus 386DX running MS-DOS 6.22 (currently broken).
Celeron Coppermine 1.10GHz on an M754LMRTP motherboard
