Can't reconnect to tablet pc after system upgrade

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

For 2 years I have had my desktop pc linked via Linksys wireless network
adapter (ver. 2.6) to my Progear tablet pc. Both systems were Windows 98.
Now I finally upgraded my desktop to Windows XP home (table pc still Win98).
I installed the Linksys driver according to instructions for XP. In the
network neighborhood it says the connection is enabled but it doesn't list
the tablet pc and I can make no connection to it.
I know that the instructions said to do the process on the other computer as
well. However, the tablet pc has no floppy or cd drive. It relies on a
wireless connection so I have no way of loading the disk (which I was asked
if I wanted to copy for use on the non-XP computer).

I never erased the old information off the table pc that enabled my past
connection.

Anyone have any ideas how to connect???
