Not sure what to look for? Network adapters have small green "cards" next to them in the list of network components. Protocols (TCP/IP) have small "wires". The network adapter listed should match the type of Ethernet card you have in your computer.
-
Continue with the steps below. (Even if TCP/IP and your network card are already configured, you must configure your TCP/IP settings.)
Configuring TCP/IP
-
Select TCP/IP from the list of installed network components, and click on Properties.
-
If there is more than one TCP/IP listed, select the one that points to the Ethernet card that you have installed on your machine.
-
-
Under the IP Address tab, select Obtain an IP Address Automatically.
-
Now click OK. Click OK one more time on the Network Window to finish Network setup.
-
Windows may ask for Windows 98 disks or CD-ROM. It may also ask you to restart Windows 98, you must let it restart for the changes to take effect.
-
You should now be ready to start using your internet.
