My client, a 98 computer, dials in to the server and
connects. The info it pulls down is good but the gateway
address is always it's own address. If it get
192.169.1.151 then it's gateway will be 192.168.1.151. I
am thinking it should be the server, .10, or the router
the server the router uses, .1. I can't see in my server
where to change this. Thanks!
 
That is not your problem. The default gateway on the client should be
its own "received" IP. That is the IP of the PPP link to the server, and
that is where the traffic for the LAN has to go!

Can you ping the server by its IP address? If you can, can you ping
another machine on the LAN by its IP address?

Dialup just gives you an IP connection. To use names, you probably need
an LMHOSTS file on the client (unless the LAN is running WINS).
