Unadvisable to connect a Windows 98 computer to the Internet. Seriously. The protocols for establishing wireless connections in windows 98 are probably obsolete now anyways.

The system has to have a network adapter (ethernet, WiFi or both). Without any adapter available you won't be able to connect it. Even so, good luck (really) trying to find available Win 98 drivers for current networking hardware. If it wasn't present in the system originally, finding supported hardware will be next to impossible (they must be collector's items by now, just like old ultra ATA 66 HDDs).

This is for my Dell Latitude CPi A. You should be able to change the driver for whatever laptop you have. I think this driver would work. Haven't tried it yet.

I commented on house70's comment with a driver that I would have thought would work if you change it to whatever laptop/desktop you have. Here's that link again: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDeta... .

This is an ethernet card I was thinking of getting: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/271423819675?limghlpsr=t...

Hope this helps. But in the end it's better just to upgrade your OS or buy a new laptop/desktop altogether.

If you're running windows 98 it'd probably be quicker to use actual mail instead of email, go to the library instead of wikipedia, etc.
