network setup wizard

Hi

I have just set up a wireless network

We have this computer downstairs running win 98SE, I have connected a 3com
wireless router to this computer with an Ethernet cable.
We have a computer upstairs running win XP, to which I have fitted a
wireless network adapter into one of thePCI slots.

The computer upstairs is saying that it is connected to a network, but it
cannot connect to the internet, I have not tried sharing files yet.

The trouble shooter on the xp machine says to use the network set-up wizard
on the win 98 PC to configure it first.

In programsaccessories I cannot find the network set-up wizard.

Can I download it from somewhere, or from the win98 cd, or someother way.

Many thanks

Steve

I've written a web page describing how to run XP's Network Setup
Wizard on Win98SE:

XP ICS - Starting the Network Setup Wizard
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...rksetupwiz.htm

If you don't have an XP CD or a floppy disk drive, copy the Wizard's
executable file to a USB flash drive or CD and run it on Win98SE:

C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe

Tell the Wizard that the computer connects to the Internet through a
residential gateway (router).

On Win98SE, see if the network adapter is getting its TCP/IP
properties assigned by the router: go to Start Run winipcfg, then
select the adapter from the menu.

thanks for that

I had a friend upload the wizard onto his web site, from where I downloaded
it.

After a few attempts to configure the pc's, I now have a network.

Next problem, I still cannot connect to the internet on the XP machine
upstairs.

This PC downstairs is the win98 machine and is not wireless like the xp
machine upstairs.

This win98 PC is connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.

Any ideas on what I can do to connect the winXP PC to the internet.

The XP PC has been connected to the internet in the past and has internet
explorer installed

Many thanks

You're welcome, Steve. On the XP machine upstairs, check the status
of the wired network connection:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right-click the LAN connection.
3. Click Status Support Details.

What does it show for these values: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway, DHCP Server, DNS Server?

The IP address should look like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. If it does,
open a command prompt window (Start Run cmd) and type these lines,
substituting the actual addresses. Each one should get four replies:

ping IP Address
ping Default Gateway
ping DNS Server

For example:

ping 192.168.1.101
ping 192.168.1.1
ping 192.168.1.1

If that works, type these commands, which should also get four
replies:

ping 4.2.2.1
ping google.com
