Problems setting up on Wireless Network Windows 98SE

Asked by nedwob in Windows 95 - 98 Networking

Tags: wireless, windows, 98se, network, up

I can't see Windows 98 as a 'Topic Area' - I hope this area will be OK.

I am setting up a network. My main PC uses XP Pro. I installed a netgear GA311 Ethernet card, connected to a Netgear DG834G Modem/Router and then to the ADSL phone connection - all works fine.

I recently decided to network this PC to my notebook. This notebook is several years old - it runs at 800mhz and only has 192mb RAM. I tried Xp but it was struggling, so I created a second boot partition and installed Windows 98SE. This has been reasonably satisfactory.

In order to network this notebook, I installed a Netgear WG511 wireless cardbus card.

Initially, I decided to set up networking in the Xp partition, having read that it is much easier to install networking in Xp. This I found to be the case, and I set it all up with no problems. Both PC and Notebook can access each other, and I can access the Internet from the notebook, and also print to the printer on the main PC.

Because Xp is very slow and I don't normally use it on this machine, I then decided to set up the network in the Windows 98 partition.

The WG511 has been installed into 98SE, and from the WG511 control panel I can see that it is reading the DG834G with good signal strength, and appears to be working OK.

However all attempts to get 98SE to 'network' have failed. I feel that the main problem is lack of information.

Clicking on 'Neighbourhood Network', 'Entire Network' raises an error message.

When I open 'Control Panel', 'Network' - on the Configuration page, there is a long list of options, including
Netgear WG511 ....
IPX/SPX....Netgear WG511....
TCP/IP....WG511...
PPPoE .... Netgear WG511 ...
plus quite a few others that don't include WG511 in the description.

Opening the Properties dialogue for any entry brings up a dialogue with quite a few options, (sometimes lots, depending on the entry selected), to some of which the answers are not obvious. Where can one find out what to enter?

Are there other things that I need to set up (other than 'sharing').

If someone can supply some answers or point me at a source of answers I would be grareful.

Thanks
