Win98 doesn't have the built in wireless support that xp has. You must
install third party software from the manufacturer of whichever
network card you are using.

Start off by disabling encryption and mac filtering on the router
until your connection is working properly and then encrypt the
connection using the strongest available to the win98. Sadly, that is
likely to be wep only but will depend on your card manufacturer.

After the wireless is working, the network settings you make on the
computer will be the same as if it is wired.
