Hi,
Just found this forum. Its great.
I installed a linksys usb wireless adapter on my 98se computer so I can connect to my new wireless (2WIRE)dsl internet. The main computer (connected by usb to 2WIRE wireless modem) and daughters Ibook with airport card both work fine. Finaly got the adapter to see the mmodem but it can't find the internet. SBC (internet provider) said my operating system has a problem with communications and to uninstall then reinstall. I found how on the Microsoft site but sounds like a lot of work.
Any suggestions?

Can you ping anything? Can it see the other computers on the network?
