> I have an old machine running Windows 98SE. All the other machines run

> I put a D-Link DWL-G510 wireless card in the the Win98SE machine.
> The D-Link configuration/monitoring utility says it is connected to my

> wireless card on the Win98SE machine.
> I can't ping the gateway or any other computer on the LAN.
> The IP address shown in the winipcfg table for the wireless card does
> not conform to the rest of my network. It should be like 192.168.1.90 or
> something, but is instead a comepletely different IP number.
> TCP/IP properties for the wireless card is set to obtain IP
> automatically and to use DHCP, but this does not appear to be working
> since it is not getting the right IP address.
> I've tried running the Internet connection wizard, choosing to connect
> through a LAN and automatically detect network settings. This doesn't work.
> How can I fix this?
> I also have a Linksys WMP54G wireless card as well. I haven't tried that
