Compaq NIC card problem

I have a small home CAT5 network that I was adding a
Linksys router to. One of the PC's could not access the
Internet afterwards, even though the router could see
that node. Round and round with Linksys support sho
eventually advised me to remove the card, reboot and
install again. I did but now the install process has me
put my original Windows 98 CD to find the correct
drivers. And they are not to be found. Can I find them
anywhere else?

I assume that you have the disk from Linksys that contains the drivers
for the network card, and that the files that the system is asking for
are Windows 98 files.

Search the hard disks for files named "win*.cab". If you find a
folder containing them, point to that folder when Windows 98 asks for
the CD.

If that doesn't work, tell the system to skip each file that it
requests. It might find that they're already in the right locations
since you previously installed the network card.
