Network card not making connection
LockedThe NIC is live, but we can’t seem to connect to the router.
Here is the situation: my client has Win98 SE on an old (5 yrs) PC. The card is a DLink DFE530TX. Win98 recognized the card and installed the drivers. In Control Panel/System, the network card appears. In Networks, the TCP/IP component for the NIC appears. Instructions for setting up the client connection to the Linksys router were followed. Winipcfg only shows PPP. Doing a “ping localhost” at the command prompt yields expected results, but pinging the router fails. >> We did not run the diag utility for the NIC. << Why can't we connect?
