Setting up mixed wnvironment home network

Already have mixed network, ( 2 XP PC's one laptop and one 98 PC, one of the
XP's wireless, one wired, the laptop wireless) but have just replaced
ethernet card with wireless card on Windows 98 PC.

Using Draytek Vigor 2600Gi ISDN/ADSL Rouetr (on ISDN) to share Internet
connection.

I know I need to run a program on the 98 PC that I have created on one of
the XP machines, but when I run the wireless networking wizard, it wants to
save them to USB drive, whilst when you run the ordinary network wizard you
can save to floppy disk.

The W 98 PC won't read the USB drive. I presujme it needs some extra
software.

Additionally the Belkin software for the wireless card on the 98 PC won't
work despite being reinstalled. It says imgviewer2.exe isn't installed (I
have searched for, found and installed this to no avail)

Whats the way round this?

you will need to install the USB Flash Disk drivers onthe 98 box (Win
2000/XP have then installed by default).

Can you not upgrade the Windows 98 machine to 2000 ?

Are these USB flash disk drivers something generic that I can find on the
internet? (The flash usb drive belongs to my employer - p[erhaps the drivers
would have come with it?)

I see only Win 98 SE listed. This ones not SE.

BTW It can talk to the router and access the internet via the router.
