Ok, i have a question. I'm working on a computer here, it has win98 SE installed. I just installed an ethernet card. This computer has no dialup modem and this is going to be way the computer is connecting to the internet (via broadband).
I just now realized that i never figured out how to get win98 to work with an ethernet card. I've toyed around with this briefly in the past, but gave up and never really messed around with it since i barely ever work on win98 computers anyway.
So here's my delima... need some tutorial or instructions on how in the world i can get win98 to use the ethernet card (pci card) for it's internet connection. I tried all the usual "common sense" things, like setting up the ip and gateway, even was able to "enable" the ethernet card, and even tried setting up connections using internet wizard. Nothing works. It wants to use a dial up modem.
I'm obviously overlooking something here and i have no experience doing this with win98.
Yes, the nic software is installed and it shows up as working under device manager, although the system wants to use a dialup modem that doesnt exist.
Help??
