Preinstallation procedures for a Windows 98 PC
Updating TCP/IP, network adapters, and drivers
Site Manager for Windows 98 requires the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack
provided with Windows 98 and a compatible network adapter and driver. If
you purchased a PC with Windows 98 and a network adapter installed, most
likely you have the correct TCP/IP protocol stack, network adapter, and
driver. Go to "Testing TCP/IP" on page 392.
To add or update a protocol, network adapter, or driver, see the appropriate
documentation and support from Microsoft and the adapter manufacturer.
Protocol and driver updates are added from the Network option of the
Control Panel. New network adapters and their drivers are added from the
Add New Hardware option of the Control Panel.
Windows 98 attempts to match a driver to the network adapter installed on
your PC. If it cannot match a compatible driver, you must update the driver.
Contact the adapter manufacturer for the latest drivers. Microsoft and other
Windows 98 Web sites may also have updated drivers.
See the Resource Kit that came with your version of Windows for additional
technical information about these issues. A hard copy is available from
Microsoft Press.
Preparing the Network Control Panel
In addition to obtaining the supported TCP/IP protocol, network adapters,
and drivers, you need to configure the Network option of the Control Panel
with the required information for your network.
Choose Control Panel > Network > TCP/IP > Properties to display the
TCP/IP properties menu, which contains tabs for the following information:
IP address
WINS configuration
Gateway
Bindings
