There's no need to run the Wizard. Make the Win98 network settings
manually in Control Panel | Network.

A common reason for inability to browse the network is that the user
isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when Win98 starts? If so,
don't cancel it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and,
optionally, a password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log
Off or Start | Shut Down | Close all programs... and log back on. If
that makes network browsing work properly, the most likely fix is to
go to this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net
and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:
