Linksys wireless router not finding W98 comp.

10-19-2003, 11:11 PM

My Linksys wireless router works fine with my son's new
laptop and wireless mcpcia card but won't recognize my
older Gateway G6 333 with Win98. When I go to >Start>Run>
and type in ipconfig/all, I get a fatal error message.

Anyone with any help would be welcome!
