| 706100 | 2008-09-18 07:21:00 | I (finally!) got a USB wi-fi adapter. I was going to use it on my Windows 98 test pc and laptop, only to discover that Windows 98 doesn't support WPA (our wireless network is encrypted). How can I connect to our network on 98? |

| 706101 | 2008-09-18 07:34:00 | Try this (www.netzwerktotal.de) Its a german site, but its meant to work It may or may not work with 98 (carbogno.net) Normally, 98 doesnt support WPA |

| 706102 | 2008-09-19 04:36:00 | Hi, SG. I'm willing to have a crack at it (www.netzwerktotal.de) if it gets WPA working in conjunction with Win98. However, my German isn't flash, and I don't see a 'switch to English' link on the page. Any ideas, apart from cut n pasting each comment into a translator? Cheers. |

| 706104 | 2008-09-19 04:43:00 | Just download the file on the site Where it says Mcafee wireless security installer Dont worry about reading it It shouldnt be that hard to configure, once you install it |

| 706106 | 2008-09-19 05:00:00 | No excuse to have a Win98 PC anymore I was going to use it on my Windows 98 test pc and laptop... My laptop is about eight years old and so is the PC. :rolleyes: Now there's another problem - the McAfee software won't detect the USB stick. :( (Why is it that whenever I post a problem in here, it gets even more complex? :groan:) |

| 706107 | 2008-09-19 05:22:00 | Is it 98 or 98 SE?? If SE, this might help (support.microsoft.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 706108 | 2008-09-19 05:32:00 | I'm trying mine (getting Win98 to work wirelessly with WPA) now. I'll post how it goes. Cheers. | A Team (13613) | ||
| 706109 | 2008-09-19 06:31:00 | Hi, Patrick & SG. I have tried a number of remedies before now to get Win98SE working wirelessly on my (old dunger) Tecra 8000 laptop with WPA security to no avail (and had read and been advised that Win98 doesn't support WPA security). However, using the program available at www.netzwerktotal.de it is working a treat. Thanks to Patrick for raising the issue, again. Thanks to SG for finding the solution. To all those forum goers who've been trying to find the solution, there is hope! Cheers. |
