But only one thing missing is difficult to solve, we access the Windows 7 through Windows 98. But it is taking effect, now I'm able to print using the printer connected to Windows 98 through Windows 7. Thanks everyone for the answers and patience. Note, Microsoft has a 'Microsoft Network Wizard' ('Netsetup.exe') for Windows 98SE, which wizard you may find helpful. Hopefully, your Windows 98 computer is now connected to your router. (you may want to write down the router address, before clicking OK, so that you can later access and configure your router from your browser). From the dropdown menu, select your network card. (Note, 'IPCONFIG' is for Windows 2000 and higher, not 98SE).It may take a minute or two for the 'IP Configuration' window to appear. Click yes to restart your computer.Īfter your computer restarts, click 'Start' then 'Run'. Then click OK again to exit the Network window. Click OK to exit the TCP/IP Properties window.

Click the 'DNS Configuration' tab, and then select 'Disable DNS'.

If any 'Installed Gateways' listed, select each one and click 'Remove'. Select 'IP Address' tab, click 'Obtain an IP address automatically.' Click the 'Gateway' tab. Under the 'Configuration' tab, double-click 'TCP/IP' for your network card. Following is the local network setup on my 98SE computer and router:įrom the Windows 98 control panel, double-click the 'Network' icon.
