ICS installation.

I am trying to network a 98se and XP machine. The 98se machine has the internet connection.
When i try to install ICS on the 98se machine it asks for files that are on the 98se cd. Then it says there are not found which means the installation cannot install ICS.
The files it asks for are listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q229965
The machines are connected through a wireless network and are sharing files and can communicate with each other.
It is most if not all the files listed in the above web page that it can not find.
If you need anymore info let me know and i will get back.
Thanks in advance.

It works much better than 98se.

I bought the computer to put into a loft conversion(for my kid). The cable modem is downstairs and does not have enough wire to put upstairs. In a perfect world i would do this but my kid wont let me.
Should ICS work on 98se? Does it work on 98se?
or is there a free program that wil do it? (Im out of money buying the computer)

Richard, can you tell me why Everytime i try to install it, It asks for files which are not on the HDD or the cd-rom?
I posted the link in my first post. It seems to be all the files listed.
Is there anywhere else i can get these files?

Yep, that's an easy one. If your CD is not a retail Windows 98 CD (or at
least an OEM CD from Microsoft) the files won't be on it. You'll either
have to beg/borrow/buy one, or check your hard drive for the Windows Setup
files (several dozen files whose names start with WIN98 and end with the
letters CAB).

If it is a true OEM CD (has the Microsoft logo on it, not the Dell logo, and
is not a "system restore" CD) you should be able to insert it when asked for
the missing files.

Ok. Its a dell system restore cd for windows 98 secound edition.
The computer had windows 98 secound edition on it.
Doesnt that mean i should have a full os and not have to buy another cd?
This doesn't look very promising!
How much is the cd? and where can i get it?

Did you check your hard drive for the Windows Setup files? If they are
there (and on many OEM systems they are) you can install the missing files
from there.
