Client for Microsoft Network

If your network is through a router make sure your getting an address from the router. If not try giving the computer a static address remember also use the default gateway as the dns address that way you can surf the net.

If you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the client for microsoft networks. You should insert the 98 cd in and point to cd so it can get any files needed.

try putting in the path c:\windows\system when it wants to know how to find the missing file. or right click My Computer, pick Find or Search. look for all files or folders with the name of net7.cab. if you are lucky and you find it, write down the path. then during the install of client for ms networks, when it says it can't find it, put in that path.

when we used to use W98 a couple of times the Winsock and tcp/ip components became corrupt.
You may need to repair Winsock. Microsoft used to have directions, but I couldn't find them. i did find this site however:
