The 98SE has two adapters - the one for the internet is
TCP/IP >Dial-up adapter - the one for the wireless system
is TCP/IP >Linksys Wireless - G USB Network Adapter. When
both are set to obtain an IP address automaticially, I can
use internet explorer and outlook express, but the network
does not work. When the dial-up is set to automatic and
the wireless is set to Specify an IP address, 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0, the network works, I can connect to the ISP
but internet explorer says pages cannot be displayed and
Outlook express cannot find the host.
Thanks
