Windows 98 network setup wizard?

Does anybody know how to set up a home network on windows
98 (not the second edition)? The network setup wizard
doesn't exist on this version yet.. is there a place
where I can download it?

There's no Wizard in original 98, but the Wizard from later versions
(Me, XP) will run on original 98.

However, it's never necessary to run the Wizard, even on Windows
versions that have it. The Wizard is just a convenience. You can
make all the network settings manually in Control Panel | Network.
Here are typical settings:

1. Install these network components if they're not already present:
a. Client for Microsoft Networks
b. TCP/IP
c. File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

2. Click the Identification tab and specify a computer name, computer
description, and workgroup name.

Then, right click and share any desired printers, folders, and disks.
