Looking for a wireless LAN card for Windows Thread starter charlie61 Start date Jul 30, I am looking for a wireless lan card that will run on Windows Does anyone know what will work with Windows 98?
Well the need to ask what Operating System your on in regards to a new network card is kind of pointless. I have only one good recommendation here, it's a good one and I personally know it will work. I have one client of mine who is a Windows 98 hold out. She won't to save her life switch to anything else. About a year ago she needed a new network card for her old Compaq, so I ordered her the following Is Windows 98 still supported by your ISP?

Joined Mar 3, Messages 6. I have a home network with machines that are running Windows XP.
I have one computer that still has Windows 98, and I seem to be having a problem getting this machine to work on the network. The Windows 98 machine recognizes the wireless network MsHome , but I can't see any of the other computers from the Windows 98 machine. I also cannot access the internet. I run the wireless utility NetGear WG wireless adapter , and it says that I am connected to the network. From the other computers on the network, I can see the Windows 98 computer, but can't access it.
Any suggestions? Bob Cerelli. Joined Nov 2, Messages 22, Can you provide all the IP information from both the Win98 computer and one of the other working ones. To make things interesting, you need to add one or more devices to the network. By "devices," I mean other computers, first and foremost. As you'll see, Windows Vista and XP machines can participate in the full extent of the Windows Home Server experience by accessing the Windows Home Server shares, streaming media, and getting backed up nightly.
However, that doesn't mean these are the only computers you can insert into your network. Older Windows boxes, Macs, and Linux machines can also get in on the action by accessing the Windows Home Server shared folders. In some cases, with the right software installed, you can connect remotely to the network from these machines.
By "devices," I also mean noncomputer equipment, including Xbox consoles, Zune media players, and other media devices such as network media players and digital picture frames. This chapter gives you the details on connecting these other devices to your Windows Home Server network. Your key to the riches of Windows Home Server from a client computer's point of view is a program called Windows Home Server Connector, which does the following:.
The good news is that it's the Connector program that lets your client machine get in on the complete Windows Home Server experience. The bad news is that the Connector software only works on clients running newer versions of Windows:. In other words, if your system is capable of running any of the preceding operating systems and can make a wired or wireless connection to your network, you can install and run Windows Home Server Connector.
Before installing Windows Home Server connector, you should make sure that your client is ready for the installation and for joining the Windows Home Server network.
Here's a checklist:. Figure 5. For the details on getting your client and server user account passwords in synch, see "Synchronizing the Client and Windows Home Server Passwords," p. Normally, you use this dialog box to run an installation program under a different user account by selecting an Administrator-level account and password.
That won't work with Windows Home Server Connector, however, because it requires that the Administrator-level user be logged on. You might think that you can log on to XP with a Standard user account and then use the Run As command to run Setup under the elevated privileges of an Administrator-level account. The usual way to do this is to right-click the file you want to run and then click Run As in the shortcut menu.
That won't work, however, because Windows Home Server Connector's install program doesn't support the Run As command or any kind of privilege elevation. I would like to receive exclusive offers and hear about products from InformIT and its family of brands.

Click Next. Choose Infrastructure. Then click Next. The next screen will ask for the SSID of your wireless network. This is similar to a workgroup name on a traditional network. The default is usually good enough, but you can name your wireless network anything you wish; just remember to configure the wireless router to match. However, by purchasing all of the wireless components from the same manufacturer, sticking with the default SSID will result in one less thing for you to go back and configure on the wireless router or other wireless network adapters.
For this reason, I recommend leaving the default setting here for the time being. You can change it later once you get everything up and running. It's used to differentiate one wireless network from another, by giving each wireless network its own unique name.
Of course, it takes at least two computers to make a network, so not only must the computers have a unique name on the network, but the network itself also needs a unique name. As long as your customer has no other wireless networks within feet of this wireless router, the default SSID name should do the job just fine. For security purposes, the SSID should be changed to a unique name after you get everything up and running smoothly.
Back to the installation. The screen that appears will summarize and review the settings you have just selected on all the previous screens.
