How on earth do you get this stupid computer onto the internet through router......i tried to use internet setup wizard......and said for it to get access through LAN........ive got lan card in and installed......i got the computer on the network, so that i can access the files through my other computer that has winxp pro on it (and i do access the files on the win98se comp, and back and forth).....but i cant get the win98 computer to access the internet......its driving me insane!! Please help.......thanks allot!!

First you get on the insternet without the router, just the modem. After that works then install the router as per instructions from the manufacturer. Should be a breeze.

Re-read your post. You do have Cable or DSL don't you?

If you already have a Broadband ISP account, please clarify the following: 1. Is your Cable/DSL Router connected from its WAN or Modem Port to the LAN Port of the Broadband Modem using a Cat5 patch cable with RJ45 plugs? 2. Are your Computers Networked via CAT5 Cable [and not Crossover Cable]from the numbered ports of the Router to the RJ45 Jacks of NICs of both PC? 3. If 1&2 above are in the affirmative, what happens when you try to launch your Browser after selecting the option (.)" I want to setup my internet connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area network (LAN)" and completing the setup through the Internet Connection Wizard? If you are getting any error message,please post it verbatim.
