Default Windows 98SE & Linksys

I have Linksys set up for my laptop, but have an older computer

a connection.


The TCP/IP properties of your win-98 system must be set as follows:

IP Address: Obtain an IP address automatically

DNS Configuration: Enable DNS

You might have to enter a DNS server address in the "DNS Server Search
Order". If you don't know what to put there, then put these:

4.2.2.2
4.2.2.1

Gateway: one of the following:

192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1

(try them one at a time until one of them works)

WINS configuration: Disable WINS

Bindings: Client for Microsoft Network

So basically there will be some trial and error with the Gateway
setting.
