I have a client house all hooked up with wireless networkig, but one computer is windows 95?
I have 2 choices:
hook up that computer with a wirelss card?
upgrade the machine to win98?

I rather do number 1, any ideas?

I can't do wiring, because the router is in the first floor. On the second floor i have 2 wireless computer, and the win95 one that i need to hook up.

Any card would work. It's the driver software that needs to be written for 95. I would bet some 98 drives would work in a 95 box but testing would be the only sure fire way to find out. Have you gone to the usual suspects (D-Link, Netgear, Linksys and so on) to look for 95 drivers and support?

USB isn't supported in Win95, and most wireless NIC's don't have Win95 support. Tigerdirect sells a NIC to wireless converter for $99 that makes your NIC a wireless NIC. I would try to find it from another vendor though, because Tigerdirect stinks :disgust:
