Re: desktop with windows 98 cant connect to cable internet
IN ADDITION:
If you still have your Win98 CD, check in
\tools\reskit\diagnose\usbview.exe or check on the hard drive using Find,
example: C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\tools\reskit\diagnose\usbview.exe.
Run this tool to see if the USB device is found, and USB is properly
installed and finding the device.
Depending upon driver availability/need and whether the modem/router came
with a *driver* supporting 9X, you may need to install one of the *universal
drivers* such as Maximus Decim Native USB. Make sure you follow the included
directions for installation.
If you post the make and model of the modem/router, we might be able to
help with the setup.
