I am dual booting. This is a new nic card that I'm using to access cable through my cable modem. I used to have a card that came with my modem from the company. Anyways, In Win98SE I installed the driver for the nic card, but I still have no access to the internet. It says when I click on the ie icon that I have to install a modem. Please, any help with this is appreciated.

The card is a Linksys NETWORK EVERYTHING 10/100 NETWORK CARD. NC100v2.

If you haven't, configure tcp/ip on the new NIC the same as it was configured on the old NIC.

If the old NIC was in and the Cable Provider has that MAC, won't the provider need the new NICs MAC. I went through that with them a while back. Their database didn't automatically update when I installed the new card.
