Wireless Problem with Windows 98SE

Gary,
Thank you very much for your response to my issue. I rebuilt the
TCP/IP stack via the instructions the MS KB article and I am still
unable to connect to the Internet or my network here at work. Are
there any other KB articles you could suggest or any further
suggestions you or anyone else anyone else may have? I really
appreciate your input.

Not me. I shot my wad with that one. Steve is the most knowledgeable one
here, usually. If he doesn't stop in to this thread soon, consider
reposting, and also consider posting to the following NG, since it will have
the most number of networking gurus attending (outside of domain admin types
in the server groups, which you might also want to check out.) These folks
didn't start doing this stuff only a couple of years ago with XP/2003 and
wireless. They've been doing networking for years and know it inside out.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

My last suggestion is to get a real newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte
Agent, etc., to make finding and reading these NGs a lot easier. If you
already have OE installed, click here:

Gary's suggestion for DUN and Winipcfg were relevant, possibly other issues
may also apply.

You might have residual settings from the old hard wired networking
conflicting with your new attempted wireless. Also, if your running a
firewall and/or some AV progs, it would be prudent to make sure they are not
interfering.

If it is no longer connected through hard wire:
Delete all networking in Control Panel > Network, then reinstall for your
adapter, making sure you have configured TCP/IP, DNS, Gateway, and other,
for the new wireless network. Also make sure you are using the correct
protocol, size and related, and security, compared with the other computers,
and router and/or wireless server.

Also make sure your hosts [or lmhosts] file [if using] has allowed
connection or is otherwise not interferring.
Additionally, ensure your workgroup and server name for the target 98 box
are part of the wireless network.

That referenced News Group by Gary, has 4654 headings, rather duanting, so
rather than looking for already supplied answers, post a new query if
necessary, should you choose to go there for answers. You could attempt a
search for related and relevant articles.

Do all the other 98se machines use this network card?

If circumstances allow, can you temporarily switch off encryption on
the AP and the misbehaving pc to see if that works okay.

MEB and Jim,
Thanks to the both of you for the suggestions. I removed all the
previous wired information before I installed the wireless card. The
settings are set correctly to match all of the other PC's that operate
on the wireless portion of our network. The IP is correct and the TCP/
IP settings also look to be correct. The hosts file is not interfering
as far as I can tell. All of the wireless machines use the same Cisco
Aironet 350 card and are working like a charm. Switching off
encryption hasn't been tried yet, but I have been ultra busy. I will
try that here soon but just wanted to thank you and clarify other
things that were asked. Thanks again for all the help so far.
