Networking tutorial?

Is there perhaps a good tutorial hidden away somewhere on Win98se
networking? For example how a browser would be instructed to use a
particular network or how the bindings work?

Thanks.

Or how about this question: How is a browser instructed to use a
particular network card or modem?

You'll get a lot of good information on this site.

It may scare you a little once you realize
that you are about to subject your PC
to a thorough probing of its defences.

If so, ask yourself if you'd rather it were done
in a positive manner, with feedback and advice
on how to close the loopholes, as this site does,
or would you rather find out the hard way.

He [Steve Gibson] also covers bindings in minute detail.

Ok, I just installed cheap $14.99 Yahoo DSL without resorting to the
crazy Yahoo CD. I feel very unsure of this however. One thing that bugs
me is my inability to test if the NIC is working. Also, since this is a
laptop I have a PCMCIA NIC, and when I unplugged it yesterday and then
plugged it back in Win98se wanted to reinstall the drivers. Can I abort
or avoid such a reinstall and have it find the already installed
driver? Any other sage advice? Thanks.

And the NIC or Win98se's use of the NIC seems to be intermittant. In
other words it works after enough restarts... but something isn't right.

Sorry, should have included the group. Try this one:

sbcglobal.help.tech.connectivity.dsl

they should be able to give you some advice
