Hello everyone, I am running Windows 98 SE on an old Dell Dimension 8100. I just did a fresh install, and just installed the integrated 3com 3c920 network card with the original dell drivers. the issue, is that the device manager says the card is working properly, yet the Windows 98 system tray displays no network activity indicator and I am getting no network connection. I know it is not a problem with the router, because all of my other computers use it fine. When I plug in to the router, the light on my network card begins to flash, but stays yellow instead of turning green. I have all of the networking tools in windows 98 installed from setup. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
