Pc help please ...

[Nickienickie]

Hi all, I have an old Compaq Presario 1234 running Microsoft 98 windows and it has dial up capability. I want a pc for my daughter to use and am wondering if it's cost effective to have it modified for the wireless SKy connection we now have at home. Any suggestions or comments ? Thanks in advance.

Windows 98 can be a funny os where USB connectivity is concerned, but Belkin do a wirless adapter for Windows 98SE

Hi Steve, thanks for that. How does it work, do I plug it in and it picks up the wireless ? sorry, you are talking to the PC uninitiated here !

Hi

Sorry it's taken me so long to see this, basiclly if you have a PC running Windows 98se (right click on my compter then left click on properties this should tell you under the general tab what you are running) and you have a USB port on the back, simply install the software from the CD and dollow the instructions, you will need the security code off your Sky broadband box to complete the task.
