Internet connection with ethernet
I just had to work on a 98se (second edition) OS for a friend and installed a
3com 3c905c-tx PCI network card on the machine and had the same problems described here. This is what I did and everything worked fine. I installed the NIC card and drivers. I uninstalled all network protocals: IPX/IP TCP/IP Networks for Microsoft etc I rebooted the machine and windows 98se automatically recognized the NIC card and previously installed drivers then automatically reinstalled the PROTOCOLS for networks. I connected my RJ-45 cord to the NIC card and then: I clicked Internet Explorer and was online. |

Can you advise if there is a way to make 98 work?

I went into Network configuration and made sure these tabs where checked in the TCP/IP Protocol by highlighting it and clicking Properties: "Obtain an IP address automatically", "Disable WINS configuration" "Disable DNS".

No I wrote that reply in case OTHERS searching for help with this problem found this post during their hunt for solutions. So that they might know how I fixed this problem. Thanks for reply. |

Thanks, I have found this basic idea of a usb wireless adapter has appeared
in other postings and saved a lot of old computers. "Manuel from Los Angeles" wrote: GO BUY A CHEAP USB INTERNET ADAPTER: http://www.myessentialssupport.com/p...pid=ME1001-USB That's the one I use for my Win 98 because it supports W98. My old computer surfs like a champ now. "larry" wrote: I installed a ethernet adapter to my Win 98.I was told it would not work unless I have a 98SE system. Is this correct and how do I find out if I have FE or SE. THanks -- daniel |
