Yes its a belkin lan card hes trying to hook up. My point is I tried for hrs one day to get a d-link aka a via card to load on 98. No matter what I did no go. Threw in this netgear and bam load the drivers during install. So I think ya right ddp and the card is too new. Oh yeah nice trick too with the win 98 machine and yes ozzmary see everybody agress with what I said when I pmed. Your better off having device manager point at the inf to load new drivers.
