Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite 330CDT I'm trying to connect to my wireless network with a Dlink airplus DWL650+. Its showing i'm connected but i can't view any web pages. I'm running win98 on the laptop and my router is a Buffalo WHR G54S.

Setting up wireless in Win 98 is a big deal compared with XP/Vista or Win 7.

Most Win 98 machines will run XP, but isn't it time for a new computer ?

The other possible issue is because the Dlink is an old wireless B device -- the router is newer so it will be wireless G or N. Check that the router's wireless mode is set to mixed mode or if possible B only. Even then there are sometimes issues between B adapters and later routers (even from the same brand, as I experienced).

Wireless adapters are now cheap, get a new one.

btw I do have a modern desktop. I'm a classic gamer and i'm running a lot of dos/win95, 98 games on this machine. Basically i'm wanting to access my network so i'm able to access my shared folder to transfer data over.
