    So my dad has this computer that like 8 years old and has windows 98 on it. Only has a 333 processor and 56 k ram. He got this Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter. I cannot get it to work and a friend of mine said he doesnt think 98 is going to support wireless. I dont see why it wont work but is this possible?

    It seems to me yes, most wireless adapters require Win98SE, but some can handle Win98 just fine.

    Need to go to Belkin site to see if you can find some old drivers and figure out if you have Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE (stands for Second Edition )

    and Yeah that 56k k Ram is gotta be a typo :eek:
