Hi:

I have 2 W95 workstions that are connected to a WAN through a Cisco 1700 router. Last week both workstaions lost connectivity to the rest of the WAN beyond the router. After investigating I discovered that the default gateway on the workstations had been changed to the IP addresses of the respective workstaions instead of that of the router. I switched them back and connectivity was restored. Now since both workstations were pretty well "locked Down" no desktop, no run command, no network neighborhood, any ideas as to how this could have occured? Oh, I forgot to mention, we definately don't have anyone on site that could have changed this configuration locally. I appreciate your thoughts.
 
Doesn't anyone have a guess at least for this one??
Could it perhaps have been caused by the router crashing??

I would like to hear your ideas at least. Thanks.
