I have a 3COM NIC on a P2 PC with 64MB RAM and win98SE upgrade. It used to work with my wireless hookup. Now I have to use the 56K modem to get any help.
On this PC I cannot get the connection to work or the notification icon by the clock that shows the wireless is working. Any help here is appreciated.
Now, the other problem. I have a 1.6Ghz P4 512MB Ram, 2 40GB hdds, 1 Datalink NIC card which uses the wireless only. The old OS was xph and when the hdd failed I had 2 new 40GBs put in and 98SE installed.
I cannot understand why the tech who repaired my 1.6Ghz PC could use his wireless service on my NIC card and my ISP guy could hook up his laptop to my ISP service but I can't on the PC. The old NIC was also a 3COM like in the P2 machine.
I have done a boot to startup disk, ran scanreg /backup, then scanreg /fix, but even though it says the registry was fixed nothing changed. I still cannot get on the internet.
I have posted on the general hardware and DNS/BIND/DHCP(?) forums but no one has answered. I really need help.
Will reinstalling the OS fix this problem? Also, I looked at the .sys files and in netdet.ini it refers to "Novell" on most of the lines. Does 98se use Novell? I thought that was for companies with more than one computer hooked to each other (LAN). Also, just so I am using the right terminology, what kind of setup am I on? LAN? Network? etc? I have only 1 NIC on a wireless but only use one machine at a time on the wireless service.
Many kudos to you who help me.
