Hello, my apologies for the lame question, but I can't seem to figure this one out.
I was recently given a laptop from my inlaws that is running windows 98. I wanted to get internet access on it, but it only had a telephone jack. I bought a USB ethernet adapter thinking this would solve the problem, but alas, it just sits there.
It used to have a pcmcia card / adapter, but that got lost somehow.
Can I use the USB ethernet adapter? I have run an ethernet cable from a port on the router to the USB adaptor, I loaded up the driver that came with the adapter.
Is there something in the Windows 98 control panel that I need to adjust or is this a lost cause?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
