Problem w/ Windows 98SE installing 802.11g router

Being told by Belkin that my system lacks network files
needed to install a wireless network between two home
PC's. The router recognizes the signal from the cable
modem but the PC does not receive signal from router.
Works fine when cable hooked directly into PC. The older
PC running on Windows 98SE. Service tech had me try to
locate "winipcfg" file but came up empty. Cannot find
anything on Microsoft website to fix problem. Any
suggestions?

Make sure you have installed Dial Up Networking. It sounds
counter-intuitive, but you need this to do any kind of networking in
Win98. Install it from the additional Windows components in Add/Remove
Programs.
