Re: Error when trying to network with 98se

I am new to networking, but had a similar problem. I have a desktop
with Windows 98 and a laptop with Windows ME and was trying to connect
them through a wireless lans without an internet connection. I worked
on getting them to respond for over a month. I was getting a similar
error, when I tried to connect to the network.

Using winconfig on both machines I realize the information was not being
properly transfered to the adapter. I reinstalled the adapter soft
ware and everything worked.
