Just went thru this with a Toshiba 9100 which has a Toshiba wireless card. Look in Control Panel for an icon saying something like 'Wireless Network'. Click that, click 'add' in the select profile panel, in next screen type in Linksys or Home, or whatever you like for profile name, and continue...

Success! Took awhile, but here's the final summary. With bcastner's help I was able to get the WIN98 box to boot, but still not connect to router. So, contacted Linksys one more time, and they suggested knocking back the speed to my nic to 10mb, half duplex. Did it, changed config back to DHCP...

Not for nothing, have you contacted Linksys, and if yes, what was their advice?

Just reconnected router/modem to run ipconfig/all, and I'll be damned, but all WIM XP and WIN2000 notebook work. I see from previous posts that this is not unusual behaviour, and that I may need to put some sort of switch between router and modem. Foolio 12 posted some links, guess it's time to...

Rebooted it, and cable modem, numerous times. Just powered up router after having it off for 3 days, rebooted modem, connected all, no change, ran ipconfig from PC I installed router from, the results; connection-specific DNS suffix: <blank> IP address : 192.168.1.100 Subnet...

Foolio12 - Are you running yet, I may be having same issue.

For the last few days, I have been unable to access Internet via my Linksys 54G router. No changes in setup were made by me. Can access internet by connecting any PC directly to the Motorola cable modem. I seem to remember seeing this issue discussed here while I was troubleshooting the WIN98...

Thanks, still no soap. Now the router seems to have lost the ability to access the internet.

Anything like this for a WIN2k wireless connection?

Seems to be getting closer, put in the addresses, rebooted, clicked IE, it looked like it was going to load my homepage for a long moment, but then errored-out as unable to find the page. Not for nothing, after I entered the addresses, I was prompted for the WIN98 disk, in order to install the...

ALso keep in mind, some older Nic cards will not be compatible with the new linksys routers that are now backed by cisco...that is just a FYI Karlehenry - Is there any documentation of what particular Nic cards may be incompatible?

bcastner - Can now boot the win98 box, ran the Winsockfix program. However, cannot access internet. Went back to the Linksys suggestion of running winipcng, but on clicking release all then renew all, get a dhcp server error message still. Any thoughts? Oh, and Happy Holidays to all.

Thanks Bcastner - I'll give it a shot.

Thanks Smah - but you're barking up the wrong tree, I've ruled this out already. The WIN98 box gets as far as the WIndows splashscreen, and that's it. The port in the rouiter, hooked to an XP box, works fine. Not for nothing, I'm thinking of adding a new harddrive, installing XP, making it the...

Sorry to sound dense, but change it to what?
