I'll try to get wireless networking work together with windows 98 SE.
The hardware (sweex LC100020 wireless usb adaptor) is functioning
correctly, also the utility program (zydas wlan utility) shows that
there is a connection.

The only thing that seems impossible is to "tell" win98 - IE and/or
firefox to use that wireless connection. I tried so many things but
it's not working...

Please Help!

Make sure the IP is configured correctly; IP address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway.
You should only have one default gateway active, the one pointing through
the wireless networking.

Post more information:

- Are you using an Ad-Hoc Network or Infrastructure-Mode Network?
- What are you connecting TO, an access point, router or another system
using connection sharing?
- What are the IP settings on Win98SE?
- Are there any other Network Interfaces? If so, what are their settings?

hello William,

I'm using a Belkin ADSL modem with Buil-in Wireless Router.
The network is in Infrastructure Mode, at least that are the settings
on my windows 98 SE desktop I would like to work with the network.
IP-adress is set to automatic
DHCP for WINS is activated
DNS is not activated.

Let me know if you need more information.
thx
Jan

Hi, Jan -

> DNS is not activated.

To get IE or Firefox to browse the Internet using names instead or IP
addresses you need DNS. Either set DNS to Automatic or get the IP Address of
a DNS server at your ISP and put it in the IP Config.

What model number is the Belkin?

Hi

The indicator that you are connected might be OK, but it is possible that
you do not really have a functional Wireless connection.

Can you exchange files between the LAN computers?
