Default 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.

I have a PC with 98 and I have purchased high speed internet service with
AT&T and their external modem; however, when I called in to tech support they
said that 98 does not support high speed internet so I would need to get a
newer operating system or a new PC. 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".

Bytebull, do you realize that you're responding to a post that's about 7
months old?

Do you thing that "Aleshia" has been waiting all this time for your
reply?

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.

That's the one I use for my Win 98 because it supports W98.
My old computer surfs like a champ now.

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
