For weeks I have been trying and failing to add my W98se Laptop to my
Wireless Network which has Voyager2091 and a WXP2 Laptop.
After the XP Wizard has transferred the Network Setup, by USB Flash Drive,
to computer 2 (W98se) and has
installed its files it reboots the W98se computer. Then as the Wizard
reappears
it says it cannot complete the Network because it cannot find info on the
hardware, which it says must be installed first. The computer then finishes
booting without the Network being established
and the two computers are still unable to see each other.
BUT the Modem / Router, the BT Network Card and computer 1 (WXP2) are all
installed and running.
We know the BT Card is OK because we access Broadband on the W98se
machine, and have done so just before trying to get the Network Setup to
work.
Can you advise me what to do now?

Confusing. Is the Wizard failing to find the hardware on the W98se
laptop? That would suggest driver is needed for W98se for the laptop
wi-fi card.
 
But the Network card is working fine and is used to provide access to
Broadband!
