I am having a problem accessing the internet with my laptop using the
WPC54GS adapter.

I installed the software and the card on my Windows 2000 drive ....
works perfectly.
I installed the software and the card on my Windows 98SE drive ...
problems.

When I perform a site search, highlight the detected network and click
on connect, I am told that I am connected to the Access Point but the
Internet cannot be found.

I contacted Linksys via their "chat" site and they discovered that the
network card was not showing up in Device Manager. I unstalled
everything and reinstalled again. The Linksys card now does show up in
Device Manager under Networks but I get the same message when I connect
to a network: Internet Cannot Be Found. Linksys said that the card is
compatible with WIN 98SE.

Any suggestions?

Ernie

You were mislead (lied to?)....Linksys specifically does *NOT* say that.
At the linksys product site
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...VisitorWrapper
click on data sheet (right hand side - more information - it's in PDF
format)
Under "minimum requirements" (Bottom left of the page) it specifically says
"Windows 2000 and XP".
Many products will specifically NOT work with Win98...It's a totally
different technology. Have you considered upgrading?
