trying to install network w/o win98 cd

i am trying to hook up my computer to the internet and
when i have to install tcp/ip, the computer asks me for
the win98 cd which i dont have. is there any files i can
download that are necessary or is there a way to get
around this problem. any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Check your hard drive for several dozen files ending in the letters CAB - if
found, these are your Windows Setup files and you can tell the installer to
look there for the files it needs.
