how do get DSL working on a windows 98-based PC

I have no idea how. WinXP is so much easier . it just goes automatically. i've tried everything. i dunno. Thanks!

 

i agree you get spoiled
two options - either a install disk from your isp or get a router
the router will hook you up and then just connect your computer to the router

 

so no way to connect directly with a DSL modem?

 

yes there is a way to connect to a dsl modem
your internet service provider will have an install disc
It might even be in the kit you received when you signed up for dsl
If you have access to an internet connected computer you may be able to download it and burn a cd

 

Try searching at the ISP's website for instructions on how to make the TCP/IP settings for Win 98.
