I have an old Win 98 system that I would like to connect to my new WinXP
system wirelessly. I have DSL with an 802.11N Router on the new system and
802.11G  card on the old system. What is the best way to connect them so I
can access the web on both computers?

I am no expert, but I was in that same situation a year ago and the only way
I found to solve the problem was to install Netbeui on the network PCs.
That made the Win 98 SE PC connect fine and I think somebody told me it was
even more secure that way.

For what it is worth .......
