Win 98 wireless network support

[tazzmissionx]

I can't remember so I am asking. Does Win 98 support wireless networking?

edit... Yeah, I feel dumb for not remembering, but the town I live in has a very high percentage of people using Win98

Yes it does. You'll find it in the Control Panel.

Here is my situation, I have a friend who has 2 computers, both Win98, the local ISP came and setup his internet access(dsl by the way),since his second computer is in a corner a floor below, the ISP used a wireless router, and the second computer they used a wireless adapter that connects by cat5 to the NIC in that computer. The problem is that second computer isn't connecting.

The network is setup for automatic, so there is no manual input of numbers for configuring the adapter. Ipconfig shows that it is not seeing anything no IP,Gateway,DNS you get the deal.

I'm confused - the second computer uses a wireless adapter connected with Cat 5? Connected to the NIC in that computer? Care to clarify?

Update......I just now found out that the "wireless adapter" the ISP used was infact a bridge It's late so, I guess I will have to set the bridge for him tomorrow, he still has his main computer online so he's sane for today
