Is there perhaps a good tutorial hidden away somewhere on Win98se
networking? For example how a browser would be instructed to use a
particular network or how the bindings work?

Thanks.

Ok, I just installed cheap $14.99 Yahoo DSL without resorting to the
crazy Yahoo CD. I feel very unsure of this however. One thing that bugs
me is my inability to test if the NIC is working. Also, since this is a
laptop I have a PCMCIA NIC, and when I unplugged it yesterday and then
plugged it back in Win98se wanted to reinstall the drivers. Can I abort
or avoid such a reinstall and have it find the already installed
driver? Any other sage advice? Thanks.

( http://www.dslreports.com/faq/8346 --- This procedure worked
except for the temporary password. Sign up by modem and then plug your
new ID and password into the 4100 address)

And the NIC or Win98se's use of the NIC seems to be intermittant. In
other words it works after enough restarts... but something isn't right.

Ah, if I can find the newsfeed that carries SBC groups. I think my
problem is Win98se or the NIC or both. How can you tell if a NIC is
working?
