How to get internet on windows 98

Windows 9x retail and upgrade versions work as well, just like generic OEM versions. Re: Getting internet on a Windows 98 VM by mpack » Sat Oct 27, pm There's no requirement to change the network setting to NAT, although it certainly is usually the easiest to set up, provided you had working internet on your host PC.

I had no particular trouble gettings Win98 networking to run - and I just checked that it's still working, which it is.

I'm not using NAT, though that shouldn't make any difference really. Of course the Internet Explorer version native to Win98SE is way out of date and can't display a lot of modern websites properly. I found that the most updated browser available which still runs on Win98 was Opera. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Can't get online with my ethernet card on Windows Thread starter Gackleman23 Start date Mar 19, Status Not open for further replies. Hi there, am having troubles with win98 and my internet connection. In the device manager my card shows up as normal and it tells me that everything with the device is working properly, also my service is through a cable modem if that helps you help me solve the problem.

Anyways the lights on the back work and all that but i just cant get internet connection setup to work. I have went through the internet setup wizard, i have never dial a connection selected, and i choose " I want to setup internet connection manually, or i want to connect through a local area network LAN ", it goes through all that just fine but when i click through and get to the finish and i pop up the internet explore i get nothing but a blank page.

The eithernet card is a linksys card and it seems to be working and under device manager says that the device is working properly and the lights blink in that back but no internet. Be aware that Windows 98 provides limited security features compared to later operating systems.

Connect an Ethernet cable between your broadband router and the back of your computer. You will need to have an Ethernet port in the back of the computer, and a card which is supported under Windows Turn on the router before continuing. Be a part of the DaniWeb community.
