Well, I appreciate your comments. I've had a dual boot machine for years with no trouble. I used Partition Magic Version 7. Actually, I have no complaints with Linksys tech support or their wireless cards. I've been using them for years with no failures. Usually the problems are caused by me. I did have one router failure about two years ago, probably a power surge. This issue I believe may be just an install issue and Windows 98 issue. I'm not a computer wizard by any means. I do have A+ and Network+ training and many years as a computer user, going back to mainframes and dumb terminals. So my guess is I need to reinstall the card and software, in the proper order, and maybe that will fix my Internet connection issue. I post this issue here because I've gotten help here from good guys. So I'm hoping an expert will get me running again. Thanks
