broadband connection

How do you add a broadband connection thru internet
options-connection wizard in Win98. There is no ethernet
adaptor listed (although it is installed) as a choice
under network adaptor selector. It only shows the
dialup adaptor.

When I went to cable from dialup, I didn't have to do
that. I installed the SurfBoard modem per their
instructions and the Ethernet card per theirs using their
software. Once both were installed, I set the network
parameters as prescribed by Comcast and got an immediate
connection.

Since then I've reinstalled Win98SE once. But even then
all I had to do was reset the network parameters (Icon in
the Control Panel), release, and renew via WINIPCFG and
the connection was again made.

I failed to say.... the card's software installed "itself"
as a device along with TCP/IP, Dialup, and all the others
you'd normally find preinstalled with the OS.
