I've tried 2 different cables on each comp, both of which work with the laptop.ĭevice manager says the adapter is working properly.but I'm not sure where to find the event viewer. I tried it first on the win98 comp, then tried it on mine when it wouldn't work, but no joy there either. I know there are probably better ways to connect them all together, but it needs to be done cheaply for now. The problem is to connect the win98 comp to the internet for my son it now needs to connect via ethernet, not usb like it was, so thats where the usb ethernet adapter was meant to be the answer. Then I got my new comp and again connected with usb simply to reserve the (much longer) ethernet cable for the laptop.still all good.

Then when we got the laptop I discovered I could share files by having my comp connected with the usb and his laptop with the ethernet.all good. With the win98 comp I could never get the modem to work by using ethernet cable so assumed the card or whatever was faulty and used usb instead. I also have 3 computers in the house - (1) my new(ish) comp, running xp, (2) hubby's laptop, also running xp, (3) my old comp, now my son's, and running win98. I think its a modem and a router but I really don't know. I have a D-Link DSL-302g modem which has usb and ethernet connectability. I've been working crazy hours this week so am running on limited brainpower here but here goes.
