I have a wirless router which is connected to a
cable modem. i have a pc connected to the
router via ethernet, i have a laptop connected to
the wireless network via a wirless card. the pc
is running on windows xp pro, the laptop on xp
home and now im trying to get a windows 98
pc to access the router and use the internet.
Installed wireless card on the pc and it finds
network etc. cant access the internet though , some
kind of ip problem it doesnt assign it an ip
address correctly when its left to authomatically
obtain one and when i give it an ip, subnet
mask and gateway to match my pc and laptop it
still doesnt work. i got the ip,subnet and gateway
settings from running ipconfig on my other machines.
Any ideas?

good news, got wep working, turns out it was 128
bit encryption and on the windows 98 pc it
was set at 64 bit. working fine now.
