XP's Network Setup Wizard sometimes fails to see a network adapter
that's installed and working. That's probably because of a minor
defect in the network card's driver program.
You can configure the windows 98 network settings manually. Go to
Control Panel | Network and:
1. Add these network components if they aren't already present:
TCP/IP protocol
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
2. Remove these network components if they're present:
IPX/SPX protocol
NetBEUI protocol
Client for NetWare networks
3. Click the Identification tab and set the workgroup name to MSHOME.
